Thrustmaster - TPR: Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder

Revolutionary pro flight sim rudders with PENDULAR technology (TM Technology PENDUL_R ™) for ultimate precision & smoothness.

The Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder features a unique suspended mechanism for smooth, fluid motion. Along with the 3D Hall effect magnetic sensors this mechanism allows for perfect precision for even the most minimal flight corrections. The magnets ensure ultra-precise, frictionless action, while two very precise differential brakes enable perfectly-proportioned braking. The magnetic sensors are based on H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) technology developed by the designer of the HOTAS Warthog.

Its enormous flexibility makes the Pendular Rudder a perfect match for any kind of aircraft in all popular flight simulators. With the T.A.R.G.E.T. software each simulator can be assigned its own profile, and multiple Thrustmaster devices can be combined.

Revolutionary rudder mechanism:

• Thrustmaster PENDUL_R™ technology: unique suspended mechanism for smooth, fluid motion. In conjunction with the magnetic sensors, this mechanism ensures perfect precision, even for minor adjustments
• Two very precise differential brakes for perfectly-proportioned braking
• 100% metal structure – weighs more than 15.4 lb / 7 kg
• 32 industrial plain bearings
• Realistic dimensions: 20.9 x 14.2 x 14.2 inches / 53 x 36 x 36 cm (W x D x H)
• Metal base plate for excellent stability, even when used without a cockpit.
• Can be fixed onto Cockpit

Unrivalled precision, from the designer of the HOTAS Warthog:

• H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) technology: 3D Hall effect magnetic sensors
• 16-bit precision on 3 axes (rudder / left differential brake / right differential brake): 65,536 values on each axis; 0.005° of precision
• The magnets ensure ultra-precise, frictionless action that won’t change over time
• Built-in electronics, with the ability to update the device’s firmware

Adjustability & Versatility:

• Springs’ positions can be adjusted, to fine-tune the resistance according to your preferences (two springs are included)
• Pedals can be adjusted into five positions, at angles between 35° and 75°
• For use below desks or onto cockpits
• For Flight Sim gaming: combat and civilian, it is also developed for warbirds closed combat & Space Sim combat manoeuvres
• For Fighter plane combat, civilian plane, airliner, helicopters, warbirds and spaceship
• For solo flight or for flying in formations

Conclusion by FlightSim.com:
"Real pilots can stop making excuses to themselves about certain unrealities in flight simulation if they step up to something like the TPR system. Cockpit builders, especially airliner cockpit builders, will find that these are just about the most perfect looking (and performing) rudder pedals they can get at any price. Oh, if your nose section comes with a pair of real Boeing pedal sets, then you can turn your nose up at us mere mortals! But for anyone who will, for whatever reason, forgo the delights of a real airliner nose section in the bedroom or garage, the Thrustmaster TPR rudder pedals are a perfect way to go. Worth it? My guess is that you will know the answer to that once you get them."
