I have ordered a notebook, and would like to fly sims on it, while not hauling a large joystick around.
Is anyone flying with a gamepad, or know of a really small joystick? I saw the saitek 90, but it's still a bit too large for my travels

Thanks, i'll pick one up. I travel by motorcycle a lot when it's not icy out, and bulk is a problemI was hoping to find a 1/2 scale stick somewhere, but I guess there is no market
