Max Flight Stick Huey Max Collective
The Max Flight Stick Huey Max Collective is a standalone UH-1H Huey collective for PC and Mac flight sims, with a choice of single or twin throttle. It is the sixth generation of Max Flight Stick Huey collective.
The switch box carries 4 switches, a push button, a trigger and an 8-way hat switch. Both axes, collective and throttle, read through Hall effect sensors and a 12-bit analogue to digital converter, and in-house pistons give it a hydraulic feel.
This is the metal version, with the grip and collective box printed in industrial-grade aluminium. It connects with a single USB cable.

The Huey switch box in your left hand
The collective head carries 4 switches, a push button, a trigger and an 8-way hat switch, so engine, lighting and trim functions sit where a Huey pilot expects them.
Choose the single throttle for single-engine Hueys, or the twin throttle variant to manage two engines independently.
Hydraulic feel, contact-free sensing
Max Flight Stick's in-house pistons give the collective a weighted, hydraulic movement, while Hall effect sensors read both axes without contact. It has several mounting options for a desk, frame or cockpit.
Pair it with a cyclic and anti-torque pedals to complete the setup. Browse our helicopter controls for the rest of the range.
Our expert take
"If you fly the DCS Huey or other Bell types, a proper collective transforms the experience, and the Huey Max gives you the real switch box and twist throttle with a damped, weighty feel."
"It is the collective only, so you will need a cyclic and pedals. Only choose the twin throttle if you fly twin-engine Hueys. It works on PC and Mac only."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct

To date, I have been using the metal version of the Huey Collective for seven months, flying a range of different helicopters in X-Plane 11 (including the Huey), and have been extremely happy with it. Now, all in black, it is a very smart addition to my sim rig. It is solid, well-constructed and has a very nice feel to it. All the controls and switches give good feedback and provide an accurate response to the input they receive.
At the time of purchase, I was warned that the piston that provides the friction when moving the collective up and down, would take a while to �run in�, and it was definitely stiffer than I had anticipated at the start, although not a significant problem. After seven months, it is still providing firm resistance, but it has eased up quite a bit and will no doubt ease up more over time. However, the motion of the collective has been very smooth throughout and feels much like I would expect a real life helicopter collective to feel.
