i agree, i dont use it anymore.

one thing i did notice with the logitech,
it has a sleep timer, about 5 minutes, when you move the stick it wakes up.
when the stick wakes up, the throttle defaults to 100% until you move it.
not good when sitting still.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
