I bought the non-pro version before i realized i needed the twisting function.
I couldn't afford another stick, so I play with what I have.
Now I am an expert in flying the helicopter by the stick alone !
I can pretty well do everything except making a quick directional change.
The CH Products Pedals work well for helicopters.
I had the Extreme 3D Pro....it was a great stick for arcade-style flying, like flying the helicopters and aircraft in Battlefield 2, but I found the X52 FCS from Saitek a must for FSX. It is very precise in throttle response and you can program it so that your speed brake, flaps and landing gear controls are at your fingertips.

I won't drop 2 Grand on a FCS that takes up more space than my computer!!! 😀

Of course I've looked at the prices LOL.
If one asks for the "best" as cthiggin did in his OP, price is certainly not an issue. Doh!
