The rudder isn't the only weak point on the AV8R and is prone to a number of problems if used for more than just the occaisional session. Unfortunately, not a lot of choice for the Xbox and your left with the Ace Edge or the FLY9. I like the FLY9 and very happy with it - seems to be coping well with the endless hours of use it has endured compared to the AV8R. Having just bought IL-1946 I ordered the PC version (Cyborg X) which is very similar but half the price. The 5 button top hat is ideally suited for Realistic or SIM other than Zoom and Cockpit view buttons are placed near the throttle ( I would prefer Zoom to have been on the top hat), other than that it's been great and glad Saitek (MadCatz) released an alternative to the AV8R. Ideally, MS could do us all a favour and upgrade their OS to accept PC sticks but that isn't likely to happen.......mind you, the FLY 9 is now available at a lower price than I paid.
