Sounds like this could be what a lot of us have been waiting for.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

As my 2nd CH Yoke is already showing signs of it's age, I may as well hope that it will last until this Honeycomb yoke is available. It's expected price isn't all that much more than a new CH Yoke, and with the better construction should last a lot longer...
...after all, in the past 20+ years I have gone through two CH Yokes already!

~ Make that a Yoke AND Throttle Quadrant ~
CH has done you very well over the two decades, Bill, durable units for the cost. Have had their flight stick in years past and it was accurate, sturdy, and looked nice on the desk as well. Alas, it didn't have enough tension for me (and I was unable to transfer it any of mine) so I looked to the offerings of several other companies. As amazing as it may sound, my old Saitek X-65F was the most sensitive, accurate, and realistic HOTAS that I've ever had the pleasure using. A Warthog is no doubt superior though I've not had the opportunity to yet. Sure was different, that X-65F, just like many of our modern fighter aircraft have: rigid & unmovable sticks. Perhaps equally amazing: Have never owned a flight yoke in over 3 1/2+ decades of pleasurable flight-simming. This too may soon pass, as I'll eat beans for a month or two to give these a go.
Looking like 2 hundred dollars USD apiece will be the intro price. It's almost to good to be true for what the pre-release announcements are indicating. That yoke and throttle quadrant both look pretty good:

Less than 3 months to go before launch. 3 days would work for me.
