There are no prices discussed here, on viperpits, at his site, etc. What gives?

Obviously prices flucuate as material costs do, but it's not like anyone is going to hold him to it.
I think we're all just looking for a ballpark number. Can anyone at least say if it's noticeably cheaper than the FSSB mods?

i can say that the price is more or less the same, FCC price does include shipping costs (not customs taxes of course), FSSB I don't know. Choice is dictated by personal preferences, FCC can be set up with some play(like the real thing) if wanted while FSSB can't. FSSB has jumper to set response while FCC sensitivity has to be set up in the cougar control panel.

The price is more or less the same AS WHAT? Is there a place to actually purchase this thing, or is it just all pictures and vague hand waving?

You're welcome. Force sensors are expensive but once tried you will never go back if you fly a viper and (if nothing goes FUBAR)the sensor should outlast me, for other stuff i have an "usbified" modded F22pro and I'm working on something modular for center mount .

I've never understood that either. It really irks me when prices aren't published. It smells of: one price for you, and a different one for my friends.

smile I just didn't know the price and the contact details were in the first link. Having a not so strong currency has it's up and down sides. Holidays abroad and purchases overseas are expensive, but on eBay overseas bidders are willing to bid more.

I actually didn't put the price because at firs i believed that was against the rules, i mean that people should contact the seller to avoid misunderstandings. But i didn't find such a thing.

A year and a half later since the last posting about the FCC3's price at 320 Euros....
Now 320 Euros is now 402 USD. (plus the cost of a TM Cougar, $250 - 300 used, which are harder to find and cost is increasing)
Anyone know what's the FCC3 going for now? (June 2012)

with the TM Warthog stick and split throttles at the 400 - 425 USD range, it would seem to be a lower cost solution
That still has TM product support.

So I wonder if the FCC3 has come down in price any?
FYI, my FCC1 is still working fine - a quality product.
