A matter of flight sticks

[bobbysocks]

that dead zone wrecks havoc with marksmanship for me at least. you cant get the plane to make those minor adjustments to put the pipper where you need it. i honestly think the guys who use a controller have an easier time. i just cant get used to them. i have tried both saitek sticks and have not had great result. i really wrestle with my stick though. i broke the twist off of my AV8R....and the wires for the rudder on my Fly 9 as well. I ended up buying a used Ace Edge off of ebay and that has served me very well for well over a year. i just recently experienced a problem with the POV top hat and scored another one on ebay. they wont be cheap...$100usd+ but i think well work it in the long run. thats just my 2 cents
