New Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke

Yowza! Twelve hundred English pounds, or roughly $1500 'Murican ain't exactly affordable nor entry-level!

Hi Folks,

Yeah - my PC costs less...

GREAT company name though - wonder if he has a substantial discount for a long lost relative in America ?

Regards,

Scott

Just looked up the cost for a salvaged Cessna 172 yoke, $345, with an Arduino kit, some pieces parts for gears, springs and bearings, you could build one for under $500.

So I have to agree, not affordable nor reasonable!

....... heheheeee.....easy ha, like anything else in life if you have the knowledge & skills ..... LOL

WoW entry level $1500. That must be a joke. I bet they had timed this announcement to go along with the release of FSW. LOL That would have been a good match up for entry level simmers. I think I will wait a couple of months for the Honeycomb release.

I'm wondering how much of a difference the tamed-down forces and travel makes?? The forces produced by the NG "MUST" still be a lot stronger than the old Microsoft ff2 surly!!?

I was really happy with the force strength of the ff2 

Far too short a travel IMHO. And the cost? ouch. No thanks.

I do have the so called old one. Yes, it’s a price tag but in the end it’s worth the money if you want as much reality as it can be. 

I ordered one on 4/27, before this announcement was made and it arrived yesterday. I have not yet had mega-hours PIC time with it but so far I am not regretting this purchase investment. The thing is amazing and closer to 'real' than I have ever experienced, except for the 737 sim at the United training center in Denver many years ago. Loving it so far.

Greetings Chocorua,

I was please to hear your first impressions. 

I was ready to pull-trigger until I verified that the entire pitch travel is only 3.54" (90mm) end-to-end.

Do you find there is enough travel?

Thank you,

Greg

Hi,
I have the CLS-E yoke and the travel is 150 mm acc the Brunner spec.What about the th 90mm i don't know. So there is a difference between with the CLSE-E and the CLSE-E NG.

Yes.

From the factory in reply to my email:

"Hi Gregory,

Thank you for your interest in our simulation products.

The 90mm are the total travel. See attached factssheet, in the drawing it's visible. If you need more travel check the factssheet of the CLS-E Yoke.

Looking forward to your order and kind regards from Switzerland, Mario

It wasn't easy for me to pull-the-trigger, but after getting some feedback from an owner, reading some reviews and watching the testimonials from users of the original Brunner yoke and software, I decided to buy one of these.  I special-ordered mine with the hat switch on the left-handle which is how I fly now.

It's due-in next week and I'll be sure to post my opinion (good or bad) once I have a chance to use it.

Did you buy the NG?  What do you think?  Especially regarding the travel?  I would be moving from a Yoko...

There's basically no information out there.  Care to review it for us?

Justin Tolerable can you please give us a quick review on the NG yoke if you bought it. Really thinking of buying this but not much out there on it. Does it work with 3rd party aircraft? I fly P3D V4 and a lot of PMDG and the Majestic Q400...will it work with those? thanks!

sorry above post is meant for cap10jaf...not Justin Tolerable..looks like he is trying to figure out if this yoke is worth it too?
