ok- i've got one (and throttle) and am happy with it
 i doubt i'd ever go back to 'short' sticks downsides:- long waiting times as mentioned  original plastic trigger spoon was a bit fragile- should be a metal one now over 2 yrs the rubber 'boot' on the stick base seems to have hardened up a bit anything else you want to know?

Thanks for the advise.

Which version do you have, the KG13? Have you regretted your purchase or do you think that it was worth the money? (I am a keen simmer but have not played il2 for some time... I have ROF but I prefer the ww2 setting so patiently waiting for SOW) Is there any part other than the trigger that is weak/fragile? The hardening of the rubber boot, has it affected the use at all? Do you think that the increased control that this stick gives you has improved your aiming or did you have to get used to flying without a deadspot? Going back to Les post he mentioned the springs(or whatever system they use) what does the stick feel like, do you need to be firm with it... Im not a fan of light springs? The force feedback is it strong?

yep kg13
pit pics here http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff27/bolox00/pit/ no i haven't regreted it in the slightest. had it for 2 yrs and it gets a good workout with il2 and a little ROF i love the no return to centre (no springs) and the smoothness of control a long stick gives- aiming might be improved slightly (you should be centred while shooting really)where it really shows is on the edge of the envelope with 'twitchy' planes, riding G blackouts etc. that and the fact it feels like a real stick between your legs- forces excepted. rubber boot- if anything it stiffens up the stick slightly- if it were sprung i doubt i'd notice the difference lets repeat this- THERE IS NO CENTERING SYSTEM - you push it to a position and it stays there. there is a damping system so you push against a mild force. there was talk of some sort of force option later- this may be what the new base is about but tarmac are being tight lipped. if you want a sprung stick http://schreinerschmid-web.homepage....ession*id*val* did a sprung kg13 type stick (he frequents here ocassionally aswell) atm i can't think of a 'long stick' with ffb

tatmac aces stick/throttle ~£700 simped rudders ~£200 beta innovations controller(rip) ~£150 switches pots etc ~£200 wood/metal etc ~£100 would be a rough guess but spread over 5 yrs or so( and you could add 3 pc's  )- still cheaper than going down the pub
