Our expert take
"The Sol-R 6 is a versatile single-lever throttle. The adjustable detent is genuinely useful if you switch between jets and other aircraft, and the built-in rudder means you can fly without pedals at first."
"It is a single lever, so it is not a multi-engine quadrant, and it is PC only. Pair it with a stick from our joysticks range."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
