Mounting Honeycomb Alpha and/or Bravo
This section provides instruction on how to securely mount Honeycomb Alpha and/or Bravo to the Flight Deck.
Remove the throttle plate if attached.
Step 1: Prepare the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke or Bravo Throttle
Remove the six flat head screws from the top of the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle or Alpha Yoke.
Step 2: Attach the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke or Bravo Throttle to the Flight Deck Gen 2
Line up the holes and secure the screws through the bracket into the Bravo using the same hole pattern. You will be reusing the six screws removed from the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle in the previous step.
Repeat the process above for the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke.
Optional: If you wish to keep using the Honeycomb clamping system keep the mounting clamps attached but very loose while securing the tops of the Honeycomb to the Flight Deck. Then carefully adjust the clamping pressure - do not overtighten as this will put unnecessary stress on the Honeycomb frame.
Once you have completed the steps provided above, your Honeycomb Alpha and/or Bravo should be safely secured to your Flight Deck. .
