Title: Cyborg - X Flightstick?
Post by: Rob52240 on March 31, 2012, 10:55:54 AM: Nearly ordered one, but it's got terrible customer feedback for only lasting a short amount of time.

Anyone use one?

This is the one I was considering.

I have a Cyborg X and CH Pedals.

Post by: ebfd11 on April 02, 2012, 11:01:37 AM: I had one I bought from wal-mart 3 years ago after my X52 crapped out and used it for apricot 1 year and then I upgraded. A squaddie was in need of a stic so I sent it to him and he has NP problems with it. It is a good starter stick but I would reccomend spending a littlemore and getting something like ch gear or go alleluia out and get the warthog or X65.
