Was wondering if someone might point me toward a control system >$150? The Saitek x52 perhaps? I'm having trouble finding a review of these controllers......

I may be wrong because I don't own an X52 but I think thats the stick that has had some issues with a wire connection at the base of the stick. Otherwise I've heard a lot of good things about it. I've had a Saitek Av8r-01 for 4 years and no problems yet. Don't know if you can still buy one but I only paid 40$ for it.

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

I've had this one for few years now, and I'm a really happy bunny with it!....

I actually got the Cyborg FLY 5 and am pretty happy about it but am troubled by an issue with a few of the buttons.....

I downloaded a profile from Saitek/Madcatz for this stick and the button finger 3 doesn't retract the flaps (except once in a blue moon)

The profile test shows that it is working but it's not.....

very frustrated
