The VPC SharKa-50 is a collective grip from the VIRPIL Controls range inspired by the Ka-50 'Black Shark' helicopter, with 9 configurable controls, for helicopter flight simulation on PC.

It marks VIRPIL's move into collective controls and combines a metal handle with a rubberised coating over a reinforced PU plastic body for a firm grip. Its inputs replicate the control layout of the real Ka-50, so you manage systems and functions straight from the grip.
