AY90force feedback yoke base: 4.2 Nm, 90 N, 95 mm pitch travel

90 N in your hands, and landing stops being a formality

The MOZA AY90 is an entry-level force feedback yoke base for general-aviation flying in a simulator. It is a base only: the MFY or MFY Pro yoke handle is chosen separately and clips onto the quick-release on top. The motors deliver 4.2 Nm of roll torque and up to 90 N of push-pull force — roughly 9 kg — so the climb and the flare on landing are felt in your hands, not just seen on screen. In roll the yoke sweeps a full 180° (±90°); in pitch it travels 95 mm, matching the movement of a real cockpit control. A 15-bit magnetic encoder reads position, so small corrections on the glideslope come through without steps. The housing is a high-strength composite — rigid but light — and the aluminium alloy quick-release lets you swap the handle tool-free with no play in the joint. The front panel carries one multi-position rotary knob, four rocker switches and two sliders, laid out in the spirit of a light-aircraft panel. Every control is assignable in MOZA Cockpit, which also configures the 16.7-million-colour RGB lighting that can mirror telemetry. The base clamps to a desk or bolts to an 80/20-compatible aluminium profile cockpit, and mounting points on top take third-party gauges and displays.

   An aircraft that pulls the yoke back

   A sprung yoke always centres with the same force. The AY90 works differently: the motors deliver 4.2 Nm in roll and up to 90 N fore and aft, and that force changes with the flight regime. On the take-off roll the yoke is almost empty, at cruise speed it loads up, and in turbulence it starts to move on its own. The flare on landing finally becomes work for your hands.

   180° of roll, 95 mm of pitch

   The full 180° (±90°) roll range matches the movement of a real light-aircraft yoke rather than a shortened gamepad arc. In pitch the column travels 95 mm — enough to meter nose-up input in small movements instead of jerks. A 15-bit magnetic encoder reads position without steps, so corrections on the glideslope come out smooth.

   A panel like a light-aircraft cockpit

   The front carries a working block: a multi-position rotary knob, four rocker switches and two sliders. Their labels follow the logic of a real panel — magnetos, avionics buses, flaps, throttle. Assignment is up to you: everything is configured in MOZA Cockpit, which also holds per-aircraft profiles and the 16.7-million-colour RGB lighting that can show telemetry.

   Tool-free to swap, easy to mount

   The handle sits on an aluminium quick-release: you can remove or swap it by hand, and the joint stays free of play even under heavy loads. The base itself either clamps to a desk or bolts to an 80/20-compatible aluminium profile cockpit. Mounting points on top take third-party gauges, displays and home-made panels.
