Fighterstick All The Way

Put my hands on both at an EAA convention a few years back. I have small hands for a man, but the Fighterstick had many functions within easy reach. It gives more options that you may choose to use or not.

IMHO the fighterstick is the better of the 2 but it is more expensive.

I didnt read all the post because they say pretty much the same.

sorry if I repeat this.

As a user of CHproducts for several years it is my UPMOST opinion that the

568COMBATSTICK is the best of all ch sticks.

As a user of TM products ;) since a dozen years who's just recently migrated to CH Products' products (ouch :rolleyes: ) it is my utmost opinion that you NEVER can have enough, let alone "too many", buttons :p !

Thus I for one am happy with my Fighterstick that features the number of coolies that I'm used to :D and would never touch a Combatstick where I'd simply miss 'em.

The difference in the price is just too small to justify wrong stinginess, IMHO, especially if you take into account that you buy it once and then intend to keep it for a couple of years.

Plus, it usually is easier to get set-ups for the Fighterstick than for the Combatstick.

I'll probably be going with the combat stick which looks like it will suit my needs but still from what I can see looking at it could stand some improvements in design. (that reach to the top hat will probably be one of them)


Dred,

if you go with Combat Stick and Pro Throttle, I do believe if I remember correctly one of the stick's hats becomes 8-way capable............don't hold me to that though...( am thinking is the topside hat on top right , too)

thinking back to analog days , the PT allowed this, but stick along did not.......

Both the Combatstick as well as the Fighterstick feature a true 8-way POV-coolie - you don't need the Pro Throttle to 'activate' it (but the Pro Throttle features another 8-way POV-coolie).

BTW and FYI, the currently cheapest prices I could find are Combatstick 69$ / Fighterstick 88$ @ SecureMart.
