Source for CH Flightsticks

[CaptainPlaid]

Does anyone know a source for CH Flightsticks. I don't want really fancy ones and we need to replace them after our incident. (See this thread) Thanks.

Ah... CH Flight Sticks...

I still firmly belive they are the best sticks out there. You just can't beat the control and precison you get. Just a straight out solid stick with no gimicky buttons or 'ergonomic' handle.

I did a quick search on google, and CH's homepage turned up. Closest thing to the stick we get in the Kit is the Flight stick pro. From what I can tell it's just a normal FS with a few more buttons, but the same basic design. Look around the page more, you can probably find the same model we use.

There's lots of info about distributors at the homepage, so browse through. If you talk to CH yourself, let them know your a FIRST team and they may help you out.

Not likely...during the build last year(2001), CH Products discontinued the Flightstick joystick model that we use. Hence the change in the AHL to allow any 15-pin joystick. For what it's worth, I believe Innovation First was going to have some available...you may want to check out their web site.

Thanks. I found them from InnovationFIRST for $34.95.
