Joystick or Yoke?

[Phoenix21]

Hey guys, I'm back to ask yet another question.

I am trying to decide what hardware to buy -- I am trying to decide between the Saitek X52 PRO, or the CH Products Flight Yoke. I'm also interested in the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System PZ44 with Yoke & Quadrant, but I don't have much money to spend, so I want to make sure that I spend it on something that is worth it.

I am very familiar with Saitek and would love to stick with them, but maybe it's time to try something else. I know that the majority of aircraft use yokes instead of joysticks, and since I prefer to fly Cessna's or commercial jetliners, the yoke seems more natural.

Can anyone make a suggestion for me? Better yet, do you have an old yoke or joystick laying around that you want off your desk to make room for a new one? Any help would be appreciated :-).

Thanks,

Matt

You can fly a civy aircraft just fine with a joystick as well as a yoke.

I've always like my"Twist Joysticks" for all my various Aeroplanes....

The Aircraft goes where I POINT the Joystick...like it does in a Fighter Plane.....!

...and they only cost around

Started with an X52 and, after some home-made mods, am fairly satisfied with it.
