Good flight stick?

Postby gibbsy24 » Sat Oct 17, 2009 10:40 pm

I'm planing on buying a decent flight stick, but I don't want to pay over $100, what do you suggest?

For $150 or so you can get a Saitek or CH brand flight yoke and throttle.  Check it out.

I've been using the Logitech Extreme 3Dpro for two years now, and I love it. Paid $30 for it, has lots of assignable buttons, and a twist grip.

Highly recommended. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Bought a Saitek X52 when I started, about a year ago and it's not bad.
