Flight Yoke and Rudder Pedals

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby vatsim-aholic » Wed Jun 13, 2007 9:22 pm

Can anyone recommend to me which brand for both is the best, and where in NZ can I purchase these items. Or where to purchase overseas if thats the only option. Have seen a few around on the web, just thought it anyone here using some may or maynot recommend.

Thanks Marcus

I've heard the CH products bundle is great, I've used them a few times and they were much better than a joystick. Although I haven't tried any other brands. try Lemonaid.

The stick option looks good too. They have a package bundle for the 3, stick, rudder pedals and yoke for $739.

Pretty reasonable cost for a lot more realism.

omg... the shipping must be almost as much as the products... those things are made from metal... and have a combined shipping weight of over 60 pounds... thats around 30odd kilograms...

:o

Fspilotshop.com have the yoke, pedals & throttle bundle for US$369.99... at current exchange rate of around US$0.75 to NZ$1... thats about NZ$490-$500... (around AU$440ish).... so tack on the shipping and you'd be up near the AU$500 mark...

or not! its US$150 for the shipping!! OMG :o :blink: :ph43r:

X45s good value for money can get them from VR, if moneys no problem then the ultimate HOTAS option would be the Cougar F16 HOTAS with the realistic mod.
