Hi AllAs I am waiting for my new PC to be built, I need to invest in a bit of Hardware. I had a Saitek Joystick/Throttle which I gave away (silly me) and think the build quality is excellent..So, I was looking at either the Saitek X52 Joystick/Throttles, then I thought of the Saitek Pro Yoke System.How about CH products? How do they stack up against Saitek. I am leaning towards a Yoke this time.. for something a bit different.Thanks

I have the CH Products Yoke, Pedals and ThrottleQ and they all have worked flawlessly for me over the years. The ThrottleQ comes with interchangeable throttle/prop/mixture levers and sports reverse detents, as well as 6 x 2 = 12 switches I use to fully control the GPS. The one trick on the yoke is to use Dupont Teflon-Silicone on the yoke to avoid elevator stickiness. Works like a charm!Cheers,- jahman.

I have used both CH and Saitek, and Saitek is much more rigidly build and is much more precise. For example, the shaft of the CH yoke is plastic. The shaft of the Saitek is Aluminium. Also the CH yoke has dead or buffer zones where you can move the yoke a little ways while having no effect. Again.....Go Saitek!Saitek all the way!I also have their radio panel, a second throttle quadrant, the autopilot panel, and the rudder pedals(also far superior to CH pedals). With two throttle quadrants, i have a throttle axis for two (or three if flying the PMDG MD-11) engines, flaps, spoilers, gear, and prop condition. Having precise spoiler control on an airliner is great. Now i dont have full spoiler or no spoiler, I have everything in between!Take Care.

Thanks BothI think I will go for the Saitek Again, seems to be good quality.

Do the rudder pedals have variable braking or is like a joystick with all or nothing?
