The Bloodhound Steering Wheel's yoke-style cutaway design boasts ergonomic grips and a twin-lever compensating throttle control system. This innovative setup provides stability in turbulent conditions, as it allows for control with both hands via levers connected by a cable that winds around an internal central pulley. The levers offer resistance but no spring load, mimicking the dual-lever steering of a Bobcat. Ergonomics were developed using a 3D printer to ensure optimal fit, while the Rev B model refines these features and excludes the kill switch. The wheel's lower section has a rounded design to prevent snagging on gloves, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
