Hello all!

I'm running a CH yoke with CH pedals, but will swap out the yoke for a stick if flying fighters or helos once in awhile.. ;)

Saitek X45. Looking to get a CH multi throttle it some point for my larger aircraft, and pedals...

When I get to that stage i'll probably build a cockpit...

Here here... I dig that stick 8)

If you end up with the ball making a noise, try some Silicone spray... Works great ;)

Be assured I already lurk there, although I tend to keep in the shadows... They do some nice ejection seats on ebay too... ;D

Get yourself a K-36 (if you can find them) or KM-1... way cheaper than that USA / UK stuff

Inverted under tower bridge? They don't normally let sprogs like me fly the Lanc and Spits, and no ones let me fly Sally B yet... Basically you can do a lot in the sim which you can't in real life...
