I have one and a Gladiator NXT Throttle Combo. Some what of a over kill for AH, but great for games like WW2OIL and IL-2. Both have been working great of over a year.

I have it's big brother, the Gunfighter with an MCG-Pro grip. Hefty price for sure but likely the last stick I'll ever have to buy. Super awesome in every way. Built like a tank. If I hit you with it, it may kill you or at least seriously hurt you. Hit you with the Gladiator? It'd prolly shatter into a zillion bits and just piss you off.

I think you're using it wrong.

Just hung up my gladiator NXT for the Winwing F18 combo. It's a decent stick for the price. Plenty of buttons and the 8 way is good. I'd say it's a good beginner stick for Sims. It's pretty smooth but not like the Winwing.
