You have an exceptional wife indeed! I will be buying the Warthog as soon as Amazon or Newegg start selling it on this side of the pond.

I have the Thrustmaster HOTAS and have used it for years but that Warthog set up seems to be a quantum leap forward.

It has got to come down in price before I can even think about buying it.

nice...but i still drive all my planes with a yoke...i had a sietek hotas and built a costum bulit stand with the joystick in the center between my knees and the throttle on my left,(this one woould be cool since its got the split handles) but my set up was cool...i could slide it in and out..until one day i got a redwood sliver in my foot and it festered up and got all nasty and i went back to my yoke......:kilroy:

That's what I'm going to get! I've been drooling over it since they put out that teaser announcement a few months back.

Seems to be quite a quality product;

BTW, I like the "rocketeer" avatar of yours!

Gasp, faint. Interesting.

If your playing Santa and giving these out I guess I'll take one...:jump:

This looks to be one fine flight stick.

I just ordered mine. This one had better last more than just a few years.
And a big thanks goes out to jmig for the loan of his CH fighter stick and throttle while I waited for the Hog's release:ernae::salute:
