where is the best place to purchase the ch flight control system from.I need flight control,throttle an pedal setup
-
You may want to try pricewatch.com. That will lead you to the lowest prices.
-
www.provantage.com is the best prices I know of.
You might want to check with TillDeath as well as he is a CH Products distributor.

TD aint no more.I am getting a computer from him and he told me to put it on here to find the best place

I did a search about a week ago and Provantage was still the cheapest. Let me rephrase that, of the companies on the net I've actually heard of, they are the cheapest.
Skull, I'd still strongly urge you to fashion a strap to the pedal you are going to be using. The springs are light enough in the CH pedals to control them with one leg but when you need to 'pull' rather than 'push' a strap would do wonders to increase control. Or you could attach a comfortable shoe or durable slipper to the pedal and just secure your foot inside of it prior to logging on.

Ditto! I think you would be happier. All conjecture though. :salute

Be advised!
CH products last. Like no other brand.
I have owned several and never had one to go bad. I own the 568 and old CH rudders.
This 568 and fighterstick is the worse design ever, unless you have a 5 or 6 inch thumb to reach the hat switch and other top button.. Many other users hold similar opinions of these sticks. You may want to find one to see how you like it before you buy. I use the KeyPad on my Keyboard for all views now because the hat switch is hard to reach. I am very fast on keypad. Since I use those keys, I setup '*' for WEP, '0' and '.' for flaps. (- Throttle down, + throttle up) END for throttle off.
Best price on the 568

The fighterstick is better but same bad design.
Can't beat the CH rudders but I regret purchasing the 568.

If you have itty bitty hands a piece of foam pipe insulation works great for moving your hand a bit higher up the stick to reach the buttons. Or you can get a hold of HomeBoy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=995). He is an expert at modifting CH sticks to lefty's , or shortening.

You must have tee-tiny little hands! With the lower part of my palm resting on the grip 'hilt' my pinky is on the pinky switch my index finger on the trigger and my thumb on the hat without any problems. I use the Fighterstick USB Pro Throttle USB Pro Pedals and Throttle Quadrant.

No, not really tiny. I'm 6 foot tall and my hands are typical for my size. Many users have made similar comments about the stick.

The fighterstick would have been a better choice,it has more buttons. Hope you enjoy CH you have definitely made the right choice. It may take you a little while to get used to the pedals, but you will.
