That's good, considering people in here seem to be insanely hard on their sticks (and each other at times).:p

I have a Saitek Cyborg Evo, not the force feed back one. Force feed back stick always seems to = lots of probs, no matter what brand usually. IMO i think u need to first map the rudder, and calibrate it in windows FIRST before u calibrate it in AH2. At first i had this problem with my EVO but then i worked fine.

Saitek is a great company. I love my EVO and its WELLL worth the 30 bucks.

If i ever get the time and money put into this game i will get a CH though. They last forever and are very durable. PLUS if somthing happens to it, like if the sensors go out, u can just order new ones, repair it yourself and then poof your back in business! :)

anyone that need a cheap stick.....imo go with the EVO

sorry to hear your having probs with yours, gl with it

When I was working at CH many years ago, the calls we had about broken sticks were very few.  The ones we did get always seemed to be people from Canada, specifically British Colombia.  This little fact always made us scratch our heads.  Guess the Canuks are a little ham fisted.

It's hard not to be ham-fisted with a CH stick; they move if you so much as beathe on them.

You should have seen some of the stuff we tried to do to recreate some of these broken sticks we got from the Canucks.

Virtually all of the broken sticks we would get from them were snapped clean off at the gimble, which is pretty strong.  We would throw them around (I almost broke a window during 'throw' tests), yank them as hard as we could and basically weren't able to break these things at all.  The only time we were able to snap them off easily is when we put them on this tension bar machine that finally snapped the gimble clean.  Whatever the Canucks were doing to them, it had to be hard enough to snap the metal support rod in the gimble.  Maybe its from milking all those moose up there.

I guess the Canadians are more eager to make those "shake the boggy" manuevers a little rough, Ack-Ack

To be honest....what the heck...how can ANYONE break a stick?
