Is it worth is to get this?

My current controller is quitting on me, shutting the plane down in flight, and randomly cycling views. I want to get this because it is really realistic to a small prop setup.

Sorry for the following: Only your controller would be having those kinds of problems.  ;D ;)

I have to say this is quite a good controller.
Only every now and then do I have to oil the throttle quad because it sticks every now and then.
But this gets the job done.
The only thing I would of added to it was a resistance knob for the yoke. But like I said it gets the job done, and it adds a good bit of enjoyment to many prop airplanes.

I am running that set up and could not be happier. More programmable buttons than you know what to do with. And at that price, a bargin. I paid quite a bit more when it first came out. Having had CH and now this, I personally think that Saitek have the edge.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
