Description
Max Flight Stick AS350 Max
The Max Flight Stick AS350 Max is a complete set of AS350 (H125) helicopter controls for PC and Mac: cyclic, angled twist-throttle collective and anti-torque pedals on one aluminium frame. It is the fifth generation of Max Flight Stick AS350 controls.
All 5 axes read through Hall effect sensors and a 12-bit analogue to digital converter. Custom pistons, set up with force data provided by the military, load the controls, and travel on the cyclic, collective, throttle and pedals is modelled on the real aircraft.
This is the metal version, with the grips and collective front box printed in industrial-grade aluminium. It connects with a single USB cable and works with DCS, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020, FSX, X-Plane, Prepar3D, FlightGear and War Thunder.

- 16 configurable buttons on the cyclic
- Dual-stage trigger and 2 hat switches on the cyclic
- 13 configurable buttons on the collective
- Angled twist throttle with switches and hat
- Full ball bearing rudder
- Pistons tuned with military force data
- Grips and collective printed in aluminium

Squirrel controls where you expect them
The cyclic carries 16 configurable buttons, including a dual-stage trigger and 2 hat switches. The angled twist throttle on the collective adds 13 more, made up of 3 switches, 3 push buttons and a hat switch.
With travel distances on every control modelled on the AS350, the set builds the same muscle memory you would use in the real aircraft, whether you are flying utility work, tours or training circuits.
Piston-loaded feel and a full ball bearing rudder
Custom pistons give the cyclic, collective and twist throttle a weighted, hydraulic feel, using force data provided by the military. Hall effect sensors read every axis without contact, so there is nothing in the sensors to wear.
The rudder runs fully on ball bearings, with solid metal pedals, high-quality ball joints and two of Max Flight Stick's own pistons. Browse our helicopter controls for more rotorcraft hardware.
Our expert take
"The AS350 is one of the most flown light helicopters in the world, and this set gives MSFS and X-Plane pilots a faithful version of its controls. Hall effect sensing on every axis, a busy cyclic grip and a proper angled twist throttle make it a strong choice for anyone who flies Squirrels or H125s."
"It is a floor-standing set that needs dedicated space in front of your seat, and the layout is built around the AS350, so it suits that type above all. It works on PC and Mac only."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
