Title: CH fighterstick
Post by: Heretic on September 22, 2007, 11:19:06 AM

Fellas,

Is the CH Fighterstick a twisty stick?   I am used to my rudder on the stick rather than having to learn to use pedals.      As of now I am using a Saitek 290 Pro and I am having to calibrate the stick darn near every time I log into the game. Plus the main trigger button is starting to crap out on me!

I read about Cougar sticks but it seems that stick is mostly sold in Europe?  

Any advice?

The CH sticks are not twisty.

Saitek just uses cheap pots, so failing is common. I'm 6 for 6 with bad saitek pots.

I've got the full CH USB Fighterstick/Throttle/Pedals setup.  The pots have not given me any problems (so far), and the rig is now about two years old.  YMMV
