The above mentioned Rudder pedals are on promo sale in a shop nearby. € 89 only (normal price € 125).
You hear me comming :
are they any good?
-
you will not fly without them, once you get them :aok

I don't doubt that. Just was thinking about the quality?
-
Its been a few years since I've seen a set of Saitek peds, but the set I saw looked to me to actually be better quality than CH peds. I'm sure you'll hear a variety of opinions here though.
-
I've owned both sets (CH & Saitek) and prefer the Saitek peds for the following:
1. The foot rests are set a bit wider apart and have a more comfortable resting area for your feet.
2. The foot rests are adjustable to your foot/shoe size.
3. Tension is adjustable.
One note...if you're now using a twisty stick for rudder input, switching to peds will take some getting used to. Be prepared to see your hit % take a drop for a couple of weeks. Once you acquire the "feel" you'll never go back.

had mine since they came out, love them,
keep them on flat floor!
the only trouble i had was when i had a piece of rug get under one side and make it set un level
a problem that saitek has since fixed, by hardening the lower surface!

I have to echo Max's post. I have a set of Ch and a set of the Saitek's peds. I prefer the Saitek's much more. I have been using this set for about 18 months, and not a glitch.

I agree with Max. My CH pedals are now on the shelf as spares, and the Saitek have been my favorites. I had one of the early sets that had some problems with coming off the tracks inside, but Saitek sent an "install yourself" fixer-upper kit and no problems since. The wider stance is much more comfortable (for me anyways...) than the CH pedals.

Everything Max said. I love mine. And ditto, they will take time to adjust to, but it's effort well spent.
