please recommend a low cost "flightstick"

[falconeye]

I am a rookie "pilot" , never have "flown" before.

QUESTION:
1. Can you recommend "flightstick" to be used to
control the computer airplanes of < IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 >

2. $ Cost can be important to me!
Is your recommendation limited ?

3. Can the "flightstick' be used for other planes
AND as a control in other games ?

Thanks for the advice !
