You may want to check out the Saitek products also before you make a final decision. CH Products are just fine and work well, but the price seems quite steep to say the least. you should be able to find the CHP bundle (yoke, pedals & FSX Deluxe) for about $350 USD. The Saitek Yoke & Throttle System runs about $150, the Pedals run about $130, and their X-52 Throttle & Stick run about $125. You can check these products out at fspilot.com  I do realize you're an Aussie and am not sure about exchange rates, but $500 AuD just seems waaaay "out of the ball park" so to speak. Hope this helps. Semper Fi, Dave

Well A$500 does strike me as rather steep as that is about US$440! I'd shop around ;)
