Re: Left Handed Joystick

i still can't believe FIRST replaces the black flight sticks they were such good joysticks. well if your a left handed person and you are the driver or copilot like myself(i hope to be) then just suck it up and figure out how to driver around it. just think of a way around this hill. what i did was move my thumb in the right finger slot and just did what i had to do.

Re: Left Handed Joystick

yeah, what was FIRST thinking? These new pieces of crap completely inhibit the ability to have 2-stick drive, which everyone on my team (specifically the driver) agrees is superior. We're using the sticks from previous years.

Re: Left Handed Joystick

The old style sticks were discontinued.
The new ones have a centering problem which causes us to have a hard time keeping them in trim. During competitions we use the old joysticks from two years ago.

Re: Left Handed Joystick

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but i believe the company that made the flight sticks stopped making them...

First gave us two Right handed joy sticks. We have black ones left over, but I have used them and have decided that they are not nearly as good a quality as the white ones... I guess I'll just continue searching for left handed joysticks... Lefties will drive!!!
