As a private pilot, im very much against these yokes, they are too pricey and offer little realism. (I know flight sim aint like the real thing but the sensitivity with these takes the biscuit!). You're much better off buying an ordinary joystick and saving yourself 50 quid!

However its a good price so voted hot

I've ordered myself one of these to go along side a Wingman Force feedback joystick. It just adds to the fun of flying your desk........

Beside my wife won't let me have a retired Canberra T-17a cockpit at the side of the house to play in.

Great price!

I am also a pilot and I think that though you will never get the realism of flight anything that improves the reality is a bonus. Having the yoke with timer for navigation legs and the dedicated quadrant for throttle, prop and mixture is excellent.

Where these flight sim yokes let themselves down is through sticky shafts so the yoke doesn't move back and forwards easily but I think the Saitek Yoke is better constructed and a bit of lubricant helps but ideally use a dry lube like silicon spray as WD40 would attract dust and cause more damage than good over time.

I have the pedals but will buy this and sell the pedals so should end up paying about £80 for the yoke and quadrant which is great.
