Looking for new throttle hardware.

Featured Replies

My Saitek throttle quadrant's died after 1 years use and have had a lot of trouble with spiking. So I'm looking for something with a little more quality that may last longer, any suggestions?

Perhaps with the exception of your throttle quadrant, Saitek typically makes good products that normally last more than one year.  I'm on my 2d Saitek joystick having purchased the 1st over 15 years ago.  

 

I'm sure you have done an Internet search and mostly interested in people's recommendations, and without a doubt some will tell you.  Hopefully the "telling" won't evolve into "convincing" resulting in yet another "Risk of Closure" topic. 

 

Best of luck finding a product worth investing with good returns.

Yes I bet. I have Saitek rudder pedals, yoke and panels that have lasted 2 years and still going strong(Im not trying to bash Saitek). But there is something about those quadrants I don't like, they feel cheap, and the day I got them I had a feeling that they wouldn't last to long (guessed that one right)...

Anyway, I was looking at the Saitek Pro Flight TPM System and it looks to be a little better quality, could anyone that have it share their experience?
