That's is because they are both modeled after the real f-16 stick.

Cappy, have you seen this site?

http://cougar.frugalsworld.com/index.php

Yes, the CH & Cougar are replicas of the F-16 Falcon.  The one thing I do like about the Cougar Stick is that the handle is interchangeable with F-15 and F-18 handles.

Good get Cappy!


<edit>  :o I discussed that I liked the CH stick because it doesn't have springs.  I did some more research and saw pix of the CH fighter stick guts and the CH & Cougar have similar spring setups in the base of the stick itself.  They just don't have the MEGA spring life the Saitek & Logicrap :aok

I like the fact that the stick can be upgraded and repaired so easily  :rock

CaptFish...

The Hotas Cougar cost about $190 ..... try Buy.com website

Another $600 to Mod with Hall Senors for the Joystick and Throggle.


If you decide to go with the cougar, I can send you my stick profile.

I believe you can still use the saitek pedals and throttle with the ch equipment. I'm not so sure about the Cougar. I've heard great things and not so great things. Maybe Wingnutt can fill you in.
