531 Ghost USMC Veteran Registered: 09/17/02 Posts: 10476 Loc: Elizabeth City NC	Hard to believe, but in November 2005 I started building/modding these. Here we are 40 of them throughout the world, and soon there will be 41. _________________________ Originally Posted By: Abraham Lincoln America will never be destroyed from the outside.

WhistlinggDeath Member Registered: 02/01/11 Posts: 605 Loc: La Jolla, CA	I am glad to own #27. I feel fortunate to work at a research university, with grants that sometimes allow me to play with toys that I would normally not be able to afford. Having played with or used the TM Warthog, TM Cougar, the Logitech G940 and Saitek X65, I still always return to my good ole CH stuff, and that is what I have on my main rig at home (image above). Cant say enough good things about the Franken Potato and its ability to correct the only major fault in the CH Pro Throttle,...the lack of trim dials. Which reminds me Ken, have you ever considered placing the front right left index finger rotary inside the body of the Pro Throttle (so that it is like the pinky rotary). If you rotated it 180, it would be much easier to use. What'ya think ?

But, the reason I did it the way it is, is so that there would be an X Y axes, so to speak that you could feel. As in move one axis fore and aft, and the other left and right. _________________________ Originally Posted By: Abraham Lincoln America will never be destroyed from the outside.

WhistlinggDeath Member Registered: 02/01/11 Posts: 605 Loc: La Jolla, CA	Consider the option of placing that second index finger rotary in the same manner as the pinky. Offer both options if you can, ... some might prefer have the X-Y rolls as you suggest and others might prefer X-X rolls. I use the index rotary to control aileron roll (and sometimes, two other functions) in LOMAC, and prop pitch in IL2, but it would be much easier for me to use if rolled in the same direction as the pinky rotary. (and I would gladly send it back to you and have you do it at your reasonable fee). S!
