Here I'd bet. This where I got mine and I don't know of anyplace else to get them.

Yep, that's the website.  It did take awhile for the kits to come in and I had to send a couple e-mails, but the kits are well done and work great.

I got my old +HS RCS mod kit from him and it was a great setup when I had my Cougar.

I am currently using a X-52 Pro HOTAS setup that my son bought me this past summer after I sold my Cougar.

I have a Warthog inbound to me from a contest that I won over at SimHQ.com; can't wait to check that puppy out in its full glory!

the problem i have with the ST290 is the fact that the thottle is behind the stick. for me it makes landing a bit tricky but thats just my opinion. what joysticks have seperate throttles and sticks that would be the best that money can buy?

A little trick to make the X52 a bit more reliable.  It works well.

Thrustmaster T.16000m Hall effect magnetic twist stick with Saitek x45 rudder. No pedals. The T.16000 is almost as good as MSffb2 that I had to give up after losing so many buttons in it. :(

You can get new switches for those buttons

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
