Does anyone have the Logitech G Pro Flight Yoke and throttle quadrant? I want to move up from the Thrustmaster T16000M set but I don't have a lot of spending money and it seems I'll get more bang for my buck than somthing like the  Honeycomb system which would be close to 600. I tend to fly general aviation and small business jets more than the big airliners. 

Anyway, look forward to any information anyone can provide or alternatives I haven't considered.

Thank you for moving the topic. I only ever go to the MSFS forum and didn't even realize there was a subform.

only about 45 degree of rotation and very weird friction when you have rotated and start to push/pull makes it very hard to recommend IMO. I had T16000M and used to use Saitek (now the Logitech) yoke in my school quite much, I'd say I'll pick T16k over that yoke even for flying a aircraft in game with yoke IRL.....

If you had looked at the "Classified Ads & "Want Ads" last week or so, I was giving away for free a Logitech Pro Flight Yoke. It was missing the clamp and was just postage paid, its now living in a tip !

I had a feeling this was the case. Thank you for sharing @C2615

I got the Saitek pro yoke and throttle quad combo years ago when alternatives were very expensive.. There have been a lot of comments about the 'stickiness' of it in FSX threads over the years with a few ideas on how to fix it.  Mine still goes ok though the mid and r/h throttle sliders gave up ages ago.  I got new ones. There are comments about how to fix them too, though the best way is to blast the insides with a can of air from the hobby shop ocassionally to eject any dust. Like all things in life, you get what you pay for and the saitek/logitech is the cheapest of the modular type 'cockpits'. However when you add up the extra Logitech components to equate it to what is in the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls and Bravo Throttle Quad, you are up around the same price for both (Logitech may actually be the more expensive) plus the Honeywell is a bit more realistic in design. The reviews I've seen of the Honeywell give it a good thumbs up, so if you can be patient and content with a joystick and keep saving up the extra $$, its probably better to do so than going for the cheapest just to get one straight away.
