Loving my MFG v3!

I have the Brunner CLS-E Mk Ii with toe brakes and I can’t see how anything else could be better.  The force feedback from the control loading system is very nice.  Also, the huge degree of programmability means if you don’t like the way they feel you can change it. The programming options go far beyond just control “sensitivity”.  Great for emulating different aircraft, from light GA to airliners.

Of coarse they are in an entirely different price category…

Not trying to resurrect this thread, but, FWIW, here's an update for late 2025:  Adding the shipping cost ~$60, tariffs ~$70, and DHL "tariff processing fee" $17, the MFG pedals will likely cost nearly as much as the TPR pedals.  Then, if DHL, the only shipping option to the US from MFG, (?intentionally?) miscalculates the tariff amount, like they did on my order (adding $221 to a $470 order), the total cost of MFG pedals from Croatia could be close to 15% MORE than the TPR pedals.

First, I think both rudder pedals are fantastic products. It comes down to personal preference if you want pendular rudders or not, both have advantages and disadvantages. The MFG are probably more versatile. Both can be even converted to Force Feedback.

I'd contact the seller via the contact form on the website and just ask him to use a shipping service of your preference. Maybe there are other options, when you select a European Country, there are more services available. From my experience (in Europe), DHL automatically handles customs - but they take a fee / brokerage on top if they do it which can up the costs + they maybe declare it wrong and then you either have to (over)pay or = bad luck, which is annoying. I think you (or more like the sender) can tell DHL beforehand that you don't want this "service" and the receiver of the package wants to handle customs on his own - which is less conveniant and increases shipping time I guess, but then you only pay the correct and lower amount of taxes.

What about winwing pedals? I think they are the best in price quality

I use them, converted them to force feedback and am happy with it. They are amongst the pedals with the biggest throw on the market, which may an advantage for some and a disadvantage for others (bit it's adjustable). But quality wise, I'd say MFG crosswinds are still ahead (they have similar / same pricing). Not saying the WinWings are bad, they are solid. I love mine - but be aware there's maintenance to be done, some screws may come loose etc. and the original damper (which I do not use anymore) had a damaged bearing.
