lol, I got mine from GotInk4U too! Pretty good deals on some studd there.. ;)


They are located about 20 minutes from me, and right at the end of the runway of KASH.  They also sell a lot of computer components and peripherals and used computers and monitors and such at the retail location.

best,

....... it has a habit of wanting to "self center" which means I use the trim buttons during flight to maintain level flight more than would be necessary with a yoke, which again I am assuming will stay in any position with regards to pitch (whew).


Zaphod,

Unfortunately, the CH yoke is spring loaded to self center.  So you still have to use a lot of trim.  Some of the REALLY expensive yokes will do that...... but big bucks are involved.

But john, the CH yoke has the manual trim so if you really need trim then you have that to help.
