advice on throttle purchase

[Hollywood]

I am thinking of picking up a throttle so I can go HOTAS.  I already have a logitech 3d pro stick and saitech pro flight rudder pedals.  I am thinking I should get a two lever throttle in case I want to fly a p38 or 110 or a buff but I mostly fly single engine planes.  I would want a hat switch on the throttle if possible to complement the one on my stick for choosing views.  Do you guys have any suggestions?

CH pro throttle!!

other than the "cool factor" a dual throttle isn't really any "extra" help in a 38 or 110. CH is the way to go for a good product that lasts.

It is when you have both ailerons blown off.

I love my suncom sfs split throttle.  Works great with AH, feels very heavy. Plus, you can reprogram it on the fly, in game, while flying.  Has 2 4-way hats, though, so if you need an 8-wAy, you'll need to get something else. You should be able to get one on eBay for abot 15-20 bucks, and you'll need one of those radio shack game port USB adapters. Plus ps/2 keyboard.

I've seen people do some pretty funky acm with a p38 and a split throttle. Also nice for heavies of course.

If you want to spend a *cough* little *cough* money you can pick up the Logitech G940. I have it and I am happy with it totally.

CH is good but too many people have had problems with the size of their hands vs. the stick, the only thing is with the CH I found is you have to get a separate USB hub where as the g940 is all intragated. They have gotten their firmware updated and fixed so there is no problem there.
