Best idea for me to purchase a new set of CH hotas?
« on: January 18, 2026, 12:32:44 PM »
 :joystick: My CH hotas are over a decade old. I'm not going to change anything and would like the best place to purchase a new set from?

Thanks!

everyone has different preferences, I currently use the Logitech X56 Rhino Hotas. They last me  fairly well, but I do plan on moving up to VKB over the next couple of years. The X56 runs around $250.00 on Amazon.

Actually, I did my research  "bargain basement" style and checked out eBay, finding many New in the box, never-opened CH hotas for around $100.00. SOOOO anoying thing that happened to me was I'm talking to Dale on the phone, and I tried to reach my throttle, and the stick fell from the top shelf and literally SMASHED open. Guts hanging out of a stick, and it got hit so hard that the thing won't even let me take off or fly in auto climb because it's that messed up.

That's the way the cookie crumbles, eh?  grrr

I use this throttle with a warthog and pedals...

I think that combo is the best buy for the dollar and with it being a twisty stick you don't need pedals..

I like to shop at Amazon as I  can get it overnight and returns are usually not an issue..
