Ok, so for rudder for any plane, actual rudders are better then in your opinion?  Or for the 38 it's an advantage?

rudder is very needed in the 38

Correct in any plane pedals is better, in some with strong rudder authority like the 109, hogs, and 38, its even better.

That's some good feedback guys.  Thanks.  :aok

I have an X52 sietek.  Are there any rudder pedals that any of you recommend?

I have an X52 with CH pedals.  I've seen some people complain about the CH pedals being to close together, so they prefer the Saitek pedals which are a bit wider.  I don't have a problem with the width.  I've never used or seen the saitek pedals in person but from pictures of saitek's, the CH pedals seem more durable to me.

EDIT: Not only are CH pedals more durable, they also cost a little bit less than saitek.

This may have been the case historically, but in AH they have no effect on increasing turn rate or decreasing turn radius.

Your correct, CH pedals are build like a brick outhouse compared to the saitek pedals.

I dont use the twisty on my X52 for rudder....I use the little thumb dial on the throttle

Nah, I just get lucky

Oooo, now there's an idea for my X-45. I've been using the rocker (?) switch on the throttle, but it's tough to get any fine control with it.... You happy with the dial?

I did that for a while with my X45 and I just couldn't get used to it..  Sometimes, I'd forget it was all the way left or all the way right.. 
In fact, I put my X45 stick away and switched it out for my trusty Sidewinder Precision Pro..  I still use the x45 throttle though..
The rocker on the joystick just didn't have have any dynamic to its control..
