Hi,
i have one of Mr. Schmidts KG 13 Flightstick (Beta-Testing Prototype)in "test, over weeks"

I must say, it's a great Stick!!!
I fly IL2-1946 (since 2001) with a Hotas Cougar Joystick and i have no problems to change from Hotas Cougar to Mr. Schmidts Flightstick!
The Stick is, what "Hardcore - Fly-Simers" want!
I have no Understandig to one Posting here, that says Mr. Schmidts Flightstick are bad
Anybody ought to herself the Stick he want --- and can buy!!!
Sticks over > 400 Euro are allways hard stuff for the most Simers!
Best Regards!
