Expensive little suckers.
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!

Funky! Like the look of that trim wheel too.

Interesting. I like the concept of the trim wheel, but I think it would be wiser to buy the generic Saitek-labelled yoke/throttle/rudder set and save some money. You're paying extra just because it's a Cessna licensed product.....
Note: I have the generic Saitek set and it's excellent!

Notice down the bottom on that page - "Saitek Cessna Pro Flight Rubber Pedals"

I always wanted some "Rubber" pedals... Metal ones are cold and not so flexible smile.gif

Hi all,

My experience with saitek has not been happy.

They look good, but durable...NO !!!

Throttle quadrant useless after 18mths, with spiking pots, inop switchs etc.

Yoke only 50% functional now (24mths)

CH pedals.... great !!!

CH Throttle Quadrant which I got from Dean a few months back..fantastic !!


Cheers
