I ordered the CH setup a while back, and was very disappointed. I used to own a CH rig back in the day, and it was rock solid.
But the CH stick I bought two years ago had so much slop in the fitting of the pot that it would not return to center, and was like trying to drive a car with a loose steering wheel.
I contacted customer support several times, and never heard back at all, even to this day. Calling them just meant being put on perpetual hold.
I found a website to mod it to fix the problem which I never should have had to do in the first place, IMO. It voided my warranty as well, but what use is a warranty from a company that won't honor it? I also found it interesting that this problem was common enough to support a modding page for it.
I replaced it with a Cougar, which for me has worked perfectly right out of the box. Two years with the cougar, and it still flies the same as it did new, if not a little better for having been broken in a bit. I have been seriously thinking about the mod kit for it, but have been holding off to see how the Warthog works out, as I like the setup of the throttle (and being a big A-10 fan doesn't hurt either). The stick itself looks to be laid out the same, or close enough.
I have already been banking points with the wife for when the Warthog comes out, but if the reviews are bad, will likely just go for the Nxt kit if it is still available.
Wait-and-see mode for now.
