Flew with a twisty stick for about 12 years. Last year I purchased a complete CH setup including rudders. However I still find myself flailing and bobbling because I keep forgetting to use the rudders for slow speed turns.
It was just the opposite for me, I never could get used to a twisty stick and flew a long time without rudder at all, but pedals made all the difference.

It took me a while to get used to them...now I find that after and during a fight my plane is not handling too well and I think I have had a stick spike so go to re-calibrate...this is when I notice I am still on the rudder :lol :lol.

i looked at that site.

 my time is worth money. the time it would take to go out, buy all the parts, then cut the stuff, then assemble it, solder everything, etc.......would cost me sooooo much more than to just buy an awsome set of ch pedals............

Some would rather build, learn, and experience. Some would rather expedite.

i don't mind building...i like learning........but........lo ok as all you need to buy. it'd be an hour or more just running around to get the parts.

 for my race car....it's worth it......for my online flight sim(where my time is already seriously limited) not even close.  :aok :bolt:

While I don't find this monkey attractive, I do appreciate human or beast who endeavors to look more beautiful.
