Once I get one I'll write up a full review with photos. It will be a couple of weeks though.

I've just ordered the flight yoke and additional throttle from Pixmania for £148. Komplett had put their price up to £178 for both items.

As soon as they arrive and I've had chance to try them out I'll post a review with a load of pics.

My flight yoke has just shipped (the additional throttle quad has yet to ship).

However, it has been shipped using Parcel Force which is part of Royal Mail who are currently on strike, so I'll be luck to get it within a week Sad

Also Pixmania have just reduced the price of the yoke to £67, I paid £101!

I've sent them a email asking for the difference to be refunded....fingers crossed!

The company has a price matching policy. Let hope it applies to it's own website! Smile

Nice review, I couldn't see it not being better than the CH.
Good luck getting yours soon.
