CH Products are considering making a twist stick with all the programmability and durability of their current range of sticks and have a poll running at The CH Hangar If you'd like to give your input then click on the link above and vote away, no need to register.

GOD! I hope they make one! I have flown with a "Twisty" for so long I just can't get used to rudder peddels.

The Wingman 3D Extreme's I use just don't last very long with constant use and the quality has really gone down from their earlier models.

Would jump on this like a frog on a june bug!  :D

Hmmm Possible yes.

Although I'm sitting on 2 good Ms sidewinder Prec 2's which are flawless.

If they had hall sensors instead of pots definate yes. Another major selling point for me would be adjustable center spring tension.

the only way I could imagine them making the weak springs on their sticks even worse would be to make the thing a twisty stick.

Not really sure what they'd use Ghost, they just want feedback right now but I'm guessing they'd use the same pots they have in their other sticks which seem to last a lot longer than most, I still have a gameport Force FX and Pro Throttle that work as well as they did they day I had them 6 or 7 years ago.

I love twisties :)  If CH's 'new' twisty will be just slightly more durable than a Saitek Cyborg (AND AMBIDEXTROUS!), then I'll pick one up as soon as they come out.

I'm suprised they haven't made one already.  What are they waiting for?

The last twist stick they made flopped miserably.
