Rudder Pedals (a worthwhile purchse?)

Ahh, I have been thinking of getting peddles too.  The twisty seems to jerky for me and hard to control during flight.  I have the Saitek ST290 Pro.

Rudder Pedals (a worthwhile purchse?)

On a whim I added the rudder trim keys to my scantily-buttoned joystick. I went into a plane and got speed up then held a vertical zoom. With constant trim input I was able to literally stand on my nose, THEN execute a FLAWLESS hammerhead. This is not possible under normal conditions, as I'm normally looking back, moving my view, and the like. I was literally taking all my time just to trim rudder. With a set of pedals I think I'd learn to love the hammerhead move.

Oh, I did this offline in a P47N, btw.
