Proud new owner of CH Yoke AND Pedals!

Postby Boss_BlueAngels » Mon Feb 06, 2006 7:57 pm

Just hit the "submit " button 2 minutes ago.  E-bay has only had TERRIBLE deals for the last 6 months ($30 for standard shipping?  C'mon, that's stupid... ), so got it from PCNation (via Nextag.com).  Entire thing including shipping was $201 USD.  Overall I feel good about the deal.

Anyway, hopefully it will be here Friday!  Wohoo!  Hopefully it will help me out as I continue working on my commercial license.

Nice one, Boss. My friend has those and loves 'em. I tried it once but couldn't really get the hang of the throttle. Oh well. Have fun. :)

Thanks, I'm very excited.

Hopefully they will help me out with my real flying.  Even the X45 joystick/throttle I have now has made a HUGE difference when I was working on my instrument rating.  So hopefully the CH stuff will help out even more with the rest of my flying.

WOHOO!  I got them today!

Man, that was certainly a piece of cake to install... just plug 'em in!  Didn't need any CD or anything!

And they work beautifully with FS9!  Although, I must say the rudder is quite touchy with the default Cessnas... even with sensitivity turned all the way down.  But that is a fault of the SIM not the controler.  Anything heavier than a Cessna 182 seems to be perfect!


But man, it sure takes me a while to get used to the new controls!  Even with having over 200 hours of real flight time! haha

They will DEFINATELY be a huge help in my real flight training, and would be a great investment to anyone else out there wanting to fly real airplanes.  

I love EVERYTHING about them!  A 10,000,000 out of 10! lol

yep, the rudder sensitivity is quite well...for lack of better words..sensitive!

I've had both for about a year now and have loved them ever since the day they arrived :)
