Hey, you found a current picture of Ack-Ack!  He doesn't like it posted, as he's a little sensitive if people make fun of his hair.

I am very tempted by the Gladiator Pro Plus with the throttle.

Are the detachable? The throttle and the stick, I mean.

Glad I ate 'er... English is a weird language.

I like the VKB pedals but they lack toe brakes.

I would also like to know if the throttle will operate detached from the stick..................

Thanks, Pollock!

I've got an Amazon account so this is getting more interesting by the moment.

You may have forgotten something.

I havent seen this at the U.S distributor site.  Prediction overwhelming demand and VKB might actually split this in two.
That trottle is the best off the shelf warbird throttle I have ever seen.

Will most likely be my next stick purchase upon my return.

Is the Gladiator Pro Joystick the flagship stick from this company or is there anything on the horizon?

It seems the Gladiator is the flagship joystick for VKB.  I was going to order one today but I'm still on the fence because the lack of buttons on the Gladiator Pro compared to the CH Combat stick I'm using now.  Supposedly there are two more Gladiator sticks coming later this year, Gladiator Plus and Gladiator Pro Plus.

They are not going to make that Black Mamba deal anymore?

[Ack-Ack]

The Black Mamba and Vintage Black Mamba are no longer available.

That's been my point, the flat base (like the Warthog type) sticks were all very short runs and you had to be watching their forums when they came out to get in on them.  The only sticks in production or the very large/wide base Gladiator and Gladiator Pro right now.  What I'm going to wait for is the ones like Blade has, flat base, with various sticks, I don't care which, I'll buy any/all of them.  I may even try the Gladiator Pro just to see how that stick gimbal mech is.  I doubt it'll replace my WH or CH right now tho - the others might...
