Definitely, its quick and easy but only applies to the stick with its hall sensors. Eliminates any 'centrepoint' dead zone, it flows right through. Whether or not there is a 'deadzone' and having a sloppy stick due to spring weakness are two different things. My stick was very heavy when I got it but its nice and easy now.

My only beef is I can't find replacement switches nor the pots for the Throttle which, like any stick, wear out after some time. I've had my X52Pro for about 6 years and the rudders for about 4. One stick switch went 'sticky' about a year ago but has cleared up now. The X Rotary on the throttle has a worn centrepoint, too much elevator trimming

I would consider buying top CH stuff but I can't afford it.
