Virpil Controls MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle

Full-Metal Dual-Engine Throttle System with Adjustable Detents & Precision Controls

The Virpil Controls MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle is designed for sim pilots who require uncompromising precision, durability, and extensive configurability. Built from high-grade duralumin and equipped with contactless sensors, this throttle delivers exceptional performance across civil aviation, military jets, helicopters, and even space simulations.

Full-Metal Construction for Maximum Stability

Crafted from duralumin, the CM3 Throttle features a rugged, long-lasting all-metal chassis. With a substantial weight of 2.45 kg, it sits securely on your desk or cockpit panel without shifting—even during rapid movements or high-stress flight conditions.

Dual Throttle Axes – Independent or Synchronized

Control two engines independently or link them together for unified power management.
Perfect for:

• Twin-engine jets

• Multi-engine civilian aircraft

• Helicopter simulations

• Military scenarios requiring asymmetric thrust

The smooth, play-free mechanics ensure precise adjustments in every flight phase.

Adjustable Finger-Lift Detent System

The finger-lift mechanism provides tactile detents for key throttle zones such as:

• Idle

• Military power

• Afterburner

• Reverse thrust (depending on configuration)

With swappable detent plates and adjustable positions, you can tailor the throttle feel exactly to your aircraft of choice.

Contactless Sensor Technology

High-resolution contactless sensors ensure long-term accuracy without mechanical wear.
This guarantees:

• Smooth, noise-free axis output

• Reliable performance over thousands of hours

• Ideal precision for demanding simulators and training setups

Extensive Controls & Backlit Inputs
