hello kronovan, welcome. i have an AV8R. others have had different problems which i never experienced. my main problem has been with the rudder feature. it isnt strong enough. you twist the pistol grip in either direction to actuate the rudder...if you werent going to play much it would be a decent stick. i would spend the extra and get the saitek cyborg fly 9... a much better stick. as for the brakes...pulling all the way back on the stick has worked for me...shooting your guns once you have all your wheels down will slow you as well.
