I sent an email to Saitek asking for a clear description regarding it's durabilty and construction and wether it was suitable for the serious Flight Simmer (the Cyborg FLY is guaranteed for two years and I will hold Saitek to that so I won't be modding this one thats for sure!) I pointed out the problems that people have experienced with the AV8R-02. Any way, the Cyborg FLY is due to arrive on Tuesday so will give it a thorough review (difficult to get as most places have none in stock so had to pay £71-00 from Amazon). I will keep the AV8R as a back up (when I have replaced the elevator pot which went open circuit last night).
in six months from new had to replace.....
3 micro switches
Trigger micro lever switch
Trigger mounting pin (snapped)
add the following....
Elavator problem
Socket for headset falling apart
The area under the spring is now fracturing and sections of plastic have fell off!
Other than that its been fine.......
