... that Saitek now has a set of rudder pedals?  I picked up a set today, and they seem pretty good and stable!!

Nice find there... they look fun! Hows the transition from twist stick to pedals?

Slowly but surely!! ;)

I've locked out the twist function, yet I still find myself wanting to twist the rudder... :o

lol... Yep it might be awkward at first I'd imagine, I always thought about a yoke/pedal set, but maybe not.

I love my twist stick rudder so much,  but would consider moving up to pedal rudder.  Is it worth it?

I wonder if non-Americans find it easier, due to driving a manual; using clutch and biting point for gearing etc... ?
Sorry if i assumed Americans don't drive manual as i know some do.

I think it has more do to with the habit of using a twist stick. It will go away pretty quickly.
