The VPC Rotor TCS Plus Collective Base (part no. VPC-112-001) is VIRPIL Controls' most advanced collective base for helicopter simulation on PC, with an integrated Throttle Twist Axis, an adjustable clutch and a pre-installed Rotor Counter-Balance Kit.

Compared with the standard version, the Plus adds the Throttle Twist Axis: a twist axis on the collective arm with a 90° idle stop detent, an engine idle button and a restrictor switch. Its all-metal build, the 3-position cam plate limiter and the adjustable clutch let you tailor travel and resistance to your grip. It is part of the VIRPIL Controls range for flight simulation.
