On this set-up the throttle have 3 sectors can the last one be configured to be used as Wep?. Also does anyonehave any good keymapping set-ups for this particular set-up, Thanks in advance.

I use the same stick. As far as using the indention for WEP I dunno..maybe. I haven't tried it yet.If it works let me know. :-)
For stick config I use the trigger for main guns, the top center(fox 2 button) for my secondaries. I use the index button (just above and to the right of the trigger) for zoom. The top right button I use for Combat Trim toggle.
On the throttle, I use the top button on the side for flaps up, the second for flaps down, and the third for WEP. The button on the front of the throttle (beside the rocker switch) I use for view toggle. Everything else I use the keyboard for. :-)

I thought the same thing, but was unsuccessful at setting up last detent as wep. I think it's just a detent in throttle throw and there is no 'switch' function. Just as well though, the detents work well for cruise and landing approaches.

I've set the following buttons:
1 - primary
2 - secondary
3 - local vox
4 - main vox
5 - flaps down
6 - flaps up
7 - 'up' view to be used in conjunction with 8-way top hat
8 - 'forward' view

I think i might have to set-up a shift key as i like to have flaps and Elevators, Plus all the rest noted.

Unfortunatly, I don't belive so, as the throttle is an axis, and wep is a button. and as far as I can tell there is no way to map a button to a certain range of the axis on that joystick.

I had this stick and after about nine months to a year it became almost impossible to aim and shoot accurately.  Same thing happened with my old Sidewinder sticks. Maybe I'm hard on sticks or the cheaper ones just don't last that long. I'm breaking in a CH figherstick now so I'll see how long this one lasts.
