Hawk-60 Collective Grip

Build quality and material quality are better than than what I expected, and I expected it to be good!

I'm a production designer on a TV show, and our latest script required a Black Hawk cockpit to be built. I was in need of a few specialty components - the Black Hawk Cyclic Control Stick being one of them. The team at Virpil were outstanding in getting me the product in a timely manner, helping me deliver a decked out Black Hawk cockpit. Everyone at work has commented on how real it looks. Awesome stuff!

Great grip foe a GA helisim , replacement for bigger dual sf-collective on tcs plus base
Both great build qualitu

Made my entire experience with DCS and Flight Simulator 2024 a better flight.

Because I mounted the collective to a frame rather than attach it to my chair it sit a little further out so I've tilted the grip a few degrees inward before tightening the nut.

Der Hawk-60-Griff könnte von mir nicht mehr empfohlen werden. Es fühlt sich großartig an, hat viele nützliche Knöpfe, wie das echte Modell, und fühlt sich in seinem harten Kunststoffguss sehr solide an. Es gibt auch etwas Spielraum, den Griff in beide Richtungen leicht zu drehen, falls man das wünscht. In Kombination mit den gesammelten Angeboten von VirPil wird Ihr Drehflügel-Sim-Erlebnis wirklich auf ein neues Level gehoben. Sogar meine Katze ist sehr einverstanden

Generally happy with the grip. However, compared to the other virpil products I have bought, the buttons are very cheap. A lot of play and very plastic feel. It's a shame as everything else is good.

The Hawk-60 grip couldn't come any more recommended on my part. It feels great, has lots of useful buttons, like the real thing, and feels very solid in it's hard plastic casting. There's also a bit of room to twist the grip a little either way, should one wish for that. Combines with the collective bases on offer from VirPil, your rotary wing sim experience is really taken to the next leve.

I cannot stress enough how much this has helped me with my helicopter flying in both msfs 2024 and DCS. it is a very good quality and I woulkd rwccomend it to anyone

I fly this with the DCS Huey, Hind, Apache, and Kiowa mostly, and I never found myself running out of buttons to map to, although I set the trigger as a modifier in the Apache to cram a bit more on there.
Overall it has great ergonomics, look, and feel, but I hope there will be a metal version sometime in the future, preferably with an analog stick in the place of the central 8-way hat.

Great way to improve the realism for helicopter flight sims. The feel is great and the four 5 way switches are extremely useful

I fly a combination of Apache on DCS and then general helicopters in MSFS24, so I thought going for the Hawk grip is a nice middle ground for all helicopters in a single grip... it is well made with a good selection of buttons and hats, so I know I made the right choice..

Good grip and functionality. Would be nice if Virpil made like a FLNKR Grip metal style version of this Hawk-60 collective grip instead of the plastic material. So it gives that pro feeling as the FLNKR does. Anyway, this product does its job very well.

Very pleased with the product. Some buttons are of some lower standard as from other peripherals. A little bit too "plastic feel".
But I am talking of otherwise perfect Virpil standards!

I am really surprised about the built quality of this collective grip. I own already the Mongoos Base and Stick as cyclic for helicopter flying and the quality is good - not perfect but very good. But this grip here has a even better built quality than the Mongoos. Great!

Very nice, light grip which is very good for my collective and very well set out.

i use it for both dcs and msfs2020 works really well but having some issues with the searchlight and landinglight hat being hard to use with. seems like there is abit to much play in the hat for it to register the imputs without being 200% in the right spot. other then that i love it.

It works well and is well built. The cost is high but it is backed by quality. If helicopter simulation is your thing, then Virpil is worth it!

I bought this for DCS World and the AH-64. I was not disappointed.

This, bundled with the Collective Plus base, is just an amazing combo. The grip feels great - switches, button and trigger all feel fantastic. I've used a throttle (TM Warthog) to fly my helicopters before in sims, and I must say, getting the base and this grip, there's just no going back. It's a completely different experience, and the amount of control you get over your aircraft is so much greater.
The only time I'll ever think about not using this grip for flying a helicopter... is if VPC release an Apache grip haha!

As an avid aviation enthusiast and longtime DCS aficionado, i really can't describe how good this piece is. It looks and feels almost like real hardware. The grip feels durable enough while it perfectly sits in your hand. The buttons/switches have good feedback, so it doesn't feel like its a cheap product. For this price the product is unbeatable. Service is also good. From back-order to on my desk in mere 2 months with prompt shipping. Keep it up my friends, keep it up!

Received the control and the attention to detail and the build quality is epic.

This is a very durable product!! I got it swift and set was soooo easy!!!!
