+1 for the Gunfighter/MCG Pro. I've had that setup for years. Butter smooth and built to last. Also built to be serviced which is important to this mechanical type guy. I have a Virpil Throttle as I was tired of waiting on VKB to come out with theirs. It's also quality stuff. I ordered a Virpil collective setup a few weeks back thinking I might mess with helos a bit. Even so, I don't get many hours in these days.
Thing with these is, while it's quality equipment, its not like there's a hundred of them laying on a shelf to be sent out. They're making this stuff pretty much to order. I waited a long while for the VKB stick and Virpil throttle. I don't expect to see the collective and grip until late spring really. Once the VKB stuff shipped--that took months, it came by air from their factory in China and got to me in a few days. The Virpil stuff at the time did the same from the other direction across the EU out of their plant in Lithuania. They both have US distributors now but they still need the items in stock to distribute. Just glad the tarriff thing is fixed else I wouldn't have ordered that collective! That is what it is.
