April 14, 201610 yr Saitek Throttle is not that realistic actually, unless you are adding the throttle handle attachments http://www.cockpitphd.com/stattachments.html
April 14, 201610 yr All these separate posts on the add on handles are total overkill! Cease and desist!

April 14, 201610 yr True, they should be merged,but I think it shows people are frustrated at the lack of action from Saitek. (not that they ever provide feedback).

April 14, 201610 yr Yes. Was nearly identical and simultaneous posts in at least three different topics, including a new one I believe he started. All promoting the same product.

April 16, 201610 yr Ahh I see now, I wasn't paying attention to the links below Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

June 6, 201610 yr Has there been any recent news regarding the production and availability of Saitek yokes and throttle quadrants? Thx, Al
June 8, 20169 yr Not that I have heard. The date of sometime in May provided in January obviously did not come to pass. There was innuendo in one message of new devices with new technology (such as wireless) coming, but nothing on that either. There are some Saitek flight devices that do continue to be available, but many are not.

June 16, 20169 yr Hey guys, I just received this from Saitek officially as I sent them an email asking about when they will start making new quadrants.

June 17, 20169 yr Which year? Well, they just sent this the other day so I assume it's this year. Jack Sawyer
June 17, 20169 yr Sorry Jack, my attempt at humour. Hard to convey it in text Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

June 17, 20169 yr Sorry Jack, my attempt at humour. Hard to convey it in text Ah, I understand, hey, I was as surprised as anybody to even GET a reply from them. I thought my message was sorta like a message in a bottle and someday someone might reply but they replied the next day. So there is hope because I just had a quadrant go bad, bought two broken ones from ebay for parts, tried to fix one but I need a smaller soldering iron, and well, I'd like another quadrant. I sure do hope what they told me is truthful. I don't know why they're so tight lipped about things, you'd think a company like that would be all over the forums telling people "Hello, we're gonna be back soon" but maybe they don't LIKE making money, who knows Jack Sawyer
