I was looking for some feedback on this "Bundled" package from CH Products:
http://www.chproducts.com/retail/usb_pro_pedals.html

I know it is a bit much, but money aside, having all three levels of control, do you think it might be worth it? I am seriously considering this package and would appreciate some feedback. I currently am using the Saitek X45 throttle/joystick combo and love it. I am getting pedals and now after seeing this package, I am really thinking of hanging up the Saitek, (anybody want it), and just getting this entire package.

Thanks for your responses, I appreciate it!

Dave,

Depends on what you tend to fly.

If I were going to go the CH products "package" idea....... I'd get the yoke, pedals, and the NEW four engine throttle quadrant, not the HOTAS type one.  But I tend to fly "heavy metal" most of the time.

I have the CH products pedals and yoke...... they are GREAT.  Well made, work flawlessly, and installation is a snap.  The next choice in that yoke and pedals department appears to jump the price factor to about $400 each.  Much more realistic.... but for almost a grand...... you'd expect it to be.  And I don't have a grand to spend on this stuff.      The CH pedals and yoke can be had for about $109 usd each if you look around.

best,

....................john

PS:  I'll be flying in an Airbus for the first time shortly, USA to Japan (real world).  All other flights have been Boeing.

LOL Paul, I just read this!

I just ordered it!   
Hope it was worth it. With my brand new system arriving today, I figured why not go to hell in a hand basket! 
I have a new baby due any minute so when I want to get away from it all, I'm jumping in something as close to real as I can get.
I am looking to do allot of GA flying myself so this should take care of all the control surfaces I need. Don't tell the misus,.......
She would rather me spend it on diapers and milk!     

Dave in Debt! 

Maybe its time to get a yoke.

Do they make a force feedback model where you feel mush and it gets tighter the more you pull back?

Might be just dreaming.
