GoFlight ( http://www.goflightinc.com ) is now offering rudder pedals.Richard

Interesting! I like Go-Flight products, I have some of their stuff and it works well. It is simple to use, very versatile and mostly fool proof. For someone who doesn

look here http://www.goflightinc.com/hangar.html now GoFlight offer modules and components separately:-jumpy ciao

Wow! This made my day! Finally a solution for the likes of me, who sort of want but can't (grin)! Seems quite idiot proof to me. Thanks for mentioning this!Jaap Verduijn.

Hi, I dont post often, more of a "quiet" builder.But I for one don't see any financial logic in these modules from Go Flight.For example, a fully assembled GF166 retails at $139.- but if you go for the RMK166 and add up all the accessories you end with a price tag of $ 206.50.I actually bought the prototype of the RMK166 module some 2 years ago and it cost me at the time $ 159.- At the time I remember asking them why the kit was more expensive than the entire set up, considering no panel is included and less manpower is needed, I never got a sensible reply, and now can make even less sence out of their financial way of thinking!!Merry X'masPeter Nielsen

Those pedals don't look jummie 2 me.At least not if you just look at them they don't.On the other hand if you look at what you get .. USB plug & play ... rudder and separate braking, ...It's as good as you expect a set of pedals to be.Only question I got .. have they got plans to make up some sort of linking set to allow people to have 2 ? Or would one not care and just set 2 of these modules in his sim and just plug them into the computer without a physical link ?220 euro ... hmmz ... I am slightly tempted but I think I will however stick to the plan to make F50 replica rudders. They are way different and "hang" from the bottom of the MIP and don't stand on the ground like most.

>But I for one don't see any financial logic in these modules>from Go Flight.All due respect, there are some things to consider: 1 - These units require NO programming, which is a significant time saver. The Go Flight programmers incur that time investment and factor that into the unit. 2 - They are super easy to mount and are functional upon delivery. Unlike other boards which require a lot of prep work, setup, or custom mounting. 3 - A normally assembled GF-166 unit has all the components on 1 board, versus the RMK which has each accessory on individually printed circuit boards. Each board comes with its own ribbon cable as well all of which adds to cost.>I actually bought the prototype of the RMK166 module some 2>years ago and it cost me at the time $ 159.- I bought that one too at the time (the very first one I think)... recall it was somewhat experimental, and it used the same rectangular board as the production GF166. The encoder wasn't mounted to anything, plus they have completely re-designed the board with a smaller footprint. They probably took a loss on those boards too as they appeared to be hand customized and they probably didn't charge accordingly at the time.From my perspective, it seems that it is a very effective solution to create fully functional radios with MINIMAL effort :-) Not disclaiming your statements, just my own humble opinion.767 radio converted with Go Flight RMK-166http://www.t-b-x.com/prather/777project/ne...roject/RCP2.JPGRespectfully,Roberthttp://777Simulator.com

>767 radio converted with Go Flight RMK-166Looks awesome btw :)Have you tried the car window tinted "shade" foil on a piece of plastic for a "window" over the digits?I think what people wonder is that the "separate" parts seem to cost more than the complete units. So is it impossible to disassemble a complete unit and re-wire it to a panel? I guess it requires de-soldering stuff while the "separate" kit has everything working, but split into convenient pieces for mounting?I agree with you - it's a very good set for someone who does not have the skill / time / interest in tinkering with the electronics and just wants to get something that works, while looking better than the default goflight stuff.//Tuomas

I ordered a regular unit with no faceplate. It was CRAZY! I had to solder like 40 individual ribbon wires... it took HOURS, then I had to debug after having 2 crossed wires. The RMK-166 took less than 5 minutes to setup... it was SUPER simple!>I agree with you - it's a very good set for someone who does>not have the skill / time / interest in tinkering with the>electronics and just wants to get something that works, while>looking better than the default goflight stuff.Very True. There are other options out there, but ultimately it's always a tradeoff. Do it yourself (time investment), or buy turnkey (financial investment). I just got to the point where the little extra money is worth me not writing a week of code.. lol.Robert
