Were the joysticks on the site full sticks or just the base that were for sale?

He just sells the pedals.

If you are interested in something upscale in sticks, say even more upscale than a Warthog....check them Russikes out...

P.S.  It's compatible with the Warthog and Cougar grips.

They are modeled after a 109F supposedly.

Bummer about the pedals not fitting. Did you get the new stick yet, and how much extra was the import cost?

Sure thing.  I'll compare / contrast it with several other sticks I've owned or own now (G940, Cougar, Warthog, X52).

I did.  Even tho' I've decided to give up AH for a while I'll write a review on this thread in the coming weeks. I'm waiting on the release of the Warthog adapter and heavier springs for a complete review.

Stick has been great so far for me but I had problems using it in AH...after years of using the Warthog I had a difficult time using a stick with such light tension.  Strangely this has not been an issue playing other games online like Rise of Flight (which i have turned to recently for online flying fun).
