I had a CH F16 Fighterstick, TM WCS MkII, and CH Pedals. I now have the Saitek X36F/X35T combo. I use the onboard rudder pedals and they are very very difficult to get use to at first. Don't let that deter you though, I had to learn AH's new FM and my new stick at the same time so that really set me back. I love the stick and it's programmability, reliability, and lack of stick spiking. I use the USB version and there is no annoying calibration routine to go through either. The rudder has a little problem that you may encounter. It will spike if you hold it all the way down to the left. Solution: Take it apart and sand down the areas above the pentiometer(sp?) where the ends of the springs stick up. I used a dremmel to sand it down, took 30 seconds.. no more spikes.
