## Long description

Take control of the AVA F/A-18 Super Hornet flight stick, a 1:1-scale official replica of the F/A-18C Hornet flight stick developed under Boeing license. The metal-structured grip reproduces the original handling sensations and integrates 19 action buttons, including a realistic two-stage trigger and an 8-direction hat switch. The AVA base offers extensive customization options—axis curve, resistance, travel and damping—to create tailored configurations for different flight styles and missions. The package includes a Super Hornet–stamped metal plate for desktop use and an offset adapter that sets the grip angle to 15° or 30° for improved ergonomics and realism.
Advantages
The AVA F/A-18 Super Hornet provides precise, repeatable control through dual AXY (Accurate X&Y) sensors and proprietary H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology, ensuring high positional accuracy and reliable center-point behaviour. The modular base allows on-the-fly adjustments of internal elements—cams, springs, deflection masks and damper—so you can fine-tune resistance and travel without disassembling the unit. The metal replica grip and comprehensive button layout deliver realistic handling for immersive flight simulation.

Adjust center point, progressiveness and resistance via the dual AXY sensors and fine-tune precision with H.E.A.R.T calibration. Use the offset adapter to set the grip angle to 15° or 30° for a more natural hand position. Make on-the-fly changes to springs, cams or masks as required during setup without disassembling the base.
Recommendations
For best results, calibrate sensors and H.E.A.R.T system in your simulator before first flight, test different spring and cam combinations to match preferred stick stiffness, and secure the base firmly to your desktop or rig to avoid movement during intense maneuvers.
