They are very good and work well not a spike in sight.
However before take off move your stick to the limits and hold for a few seconds.

Every time you start the game your elevators and aelerons deflect very slowly on first use, but once the limits have been found its back to normal instantaneous response.

If you can afford it go for the throttle option as well, like many others mine has been playing up (not getting to max or min at times) which prevents wep kicking in or being able to stop on runways unless you kill the motor.

Pongo,

I have a question to ask you about your Cougar insides. Send me an email.

Thanks!

That does look nice there Pongo. Any idea how much the U-2 is going to run us? If it is significantly lower than the Evenstrain then I might look into that a bit earlier than "the other side of never" as IJ puts it.

325 US + 100 US for the Hall sensors..+ shipping.
The everstrain is 570 US with halls I think.
The Uber is going to be a drop in part..so you send him money. He sends you parts..you install.
Advantage of replacing all the workings inside the thing.
The feel of the Uber is different then the Everstrain though. The 4 uniform springs on the Everstain take away entirly the transition as you cross the center any one of the axis. The uber absolutly minimizes and smooths the transition, yet it is there to feel as you are flying.
That and the fact that I dont have to send my Cougar away are the big reasons I am doing the Uber instead of the Everstain.
