Virpil Controls MongoosT-50CM3 Base

Premium All-Metal Flightstick Base with Fully Adjustable Mechanics

The Virpil Controls MongoosT-50CM3 Base is engineered for sim pilots who demand absolute precision, durability, and mechanical customisation. Built from premium all-metal components and equipped with high-resolution contactless sensors, this base delivers professional-grade flight control for any simulation environment.

All-Metal Gimbal for Maximum Precision & Durability

The CM3 Base features a full-metal duralumin gimbal, delivering exceptional strength, long-term stability, and zero mechanical play. It’s built for demanding flight maneuvers, long-haul sessions, and cockpit setups where reliability is essential.

Independently Adjustable Clutch Dampers

Fine-tune your control feel with separate clutch dampers for pitch and roll.
For example:

• Softer pitch for smooth vertical control

• Firmer roll for precise lateral maneuvers

The result is a tailored response perfectly matched to your aircraft and flying style.

Custom Springs, Cams & Tuning Options

With interchangeable springs and cam plates, you can define exactly how your stick behaves:

• Change center-force strength

• Adjust smoothness or detent feeling

• Modify return-to-center characteristics

• Tune the travel resistance to match your preferred aircraft type

This level of adjustability makes the CM3 Base ideal for helicopters, jets, GA aircraft, military sims, and space sims alike.

High-Resolution, Contactless 14-Bit Sensors

Equipped with precision 14-bit contactless sensors, the base delivers:

• Ultra-smooth movement

• Pixel-accurate input detection

• Zero wear and long-term reliability

Perfect for aerobatics, air-to-air refueling, formation flying, and complex combat manoeuvres.

Wide Grip Compatibility

The MongoosT-50CM3 Base supports a broad range of grips:

• All VIRPIL Controls grips

• Select Thrustmaster grips (e.g., Warthog; depending on adapter/model)

This gives you freedom to expand your HOTAS setup without switching bases.
