NZFF

I see CH have a nice looking Eclipse model of the yoke out in silver, has anyone seen or used it in the flesh? Which shops carry them does anyone know? the saitek pro gear looks cool as well.

I think its time i got ruidder pedals to enjoy taildraggers and choppers properly

First off - Rudder Pedals a must , for your yoke and controller , I would go the CH product , i still have my old unit here as back up but brought a near brand new unit from one off our NZFF members , it is good but has a few problem thing s which Saitek add to that break down quickly ' the flight clock ' gimmic .. as an engineer , always get a product with the least gadgets that will cause you problems not the latter has but for the time flight clock built into it , the CH yoke , 8 years sterling service , in will return to them .

Thanks Ian that's good feedback! I'm annoyed I just missed some on trademe that went quite cheap but might buy new if i could find them in any shops.

I,m lucky now in Christchurch , i have a Computer store so close to me , Calder Electronics , Austin had a customer come in asking for flightsim gear and general help , mentioned me and how close i was , I have a regular simmer stop by for just the fun and chat .. the thing is Austin Calder will now get anything in for me that is FS related simply because i cause or generated an interest .

PS: I must ask to get my sleeping bag back from outta the shop .... i was there so many times

Arrgh just missed another set on Trademe today...went for $140!
