S!  Does anyone use the Thrustmaster stick/throttle/pedals or any combination thereof?  Looking to purchase a new throttle and stick as my older X52 set up is getting a bit finicky....  Or any recommendations on other manufacturers?  Cheers gentlemen!

CH Products!

Several of us use them... I have the stick, throttle, pedals, throttle quad and the multi-function panel. 

Holds up like iron!

BTW, their control manager is probably the best out there for programming

Tx Wood!  I'm looking for a full HOTAS and pedal combo and narrowed it down to the Thrustmaster set and the CH products set.  Do you know if the CH products use magnet type sensors or is the control surface between the moving parts friction based.  My X52 is just simply getting worn out and it is friction based for input.  The Thrustmaster stick uses magnets somehow for input when it moves and guaranteed more exact movement control and will never wear down like some friction based controllers or sticks.... I still haven't decided yet tho...

I've been using the CH products for years & they seem indestructible.  The only thing part that's failed was the toe brakes on a set of pedals, when wires broke inside.  Had I sent them to CH instead of opening the casing myself, they would have been covered.

Not sure... They are located here in California.
Very friendly and easy to talk to.

I have been thinking of going the same way and CH will be the choice
