Just got the aviator tonight, and I notice the deadzone. It makes fine tune adjustments difficult at times, but it is still worlds better than the gamepad. You really only notice it when you are trying to pick off someone's engines, not during most maneuvers. Also, I think it's good enough to justify a purchase, and I'm glad I didn't shell out for the Hori.
Also, the ziptie mod, which i haven't yet done, is supposed to ease the problem by making the stick easier to move.
