Packaging
The Orion Throttle F-16EX ships in two separate boxes. The outer box is made from heavy-duty cardboard and features some basic information about the products within.
Inside, you’ll find thinner boxes containing the throttle base and the F-16 throttle handle. The artwork on the boxes is clean and shows what is inside.
The Orion base includes the base, USB cable, suction cups to mount the throttle base to a desktop, and extra parts to install the F-18 throttle grip.
The Orion F-16EX Grip is packaged in multiple layers. The first layer is the Throttle Detent Plate. This an aluminum plate that represents the Off, Idle, throttle range, and Afterburner positions of the throttle.
Under that you’ll find the brackets to attach the Throttle Detent Plate to the Orion base as well as an accessory bag that contains the screws needed to attach the grip and the Throttle Detent Plate to the base and extra wheels.
At the bottom layer is the Orion F-16 EX grip. All of the parts are tucked away in foam and the grip is wrapped in a plastic bag to protect the finish of the product.

I am still flying the Cougar HOTAS, although modified – Hall sensors instead the original potentiometers on both throttle and stick.
I am very curious to see a comparison between the Cougar and the Orion throttle, is there a noticeable difference?
