Where is Ghost now? Quick Ghost, post a pic of a stick that only the United States Military can buy! I would but then they'd have to kill me ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink!.gif)

(In particular, will the stick be force-feedback?) I hope not... the A-10 isn't force feedback or force sensor. I suspect the stick will be similiar to the Cougar but only time will tell. Hmmm, first I've heard of a deflecting stick that was fly-by-wire and NOT force-feedback, since I thought all FBW sticks were tensometric like the F-16's and all deflecting sticks had mechanical connections to the control surfaces, thus any forces exerted on the surfaces would manifest themselves in the stick. Then again, I did hear about a report of an A-10 pilot bringing home a damaged bird with a dead stick with nothing more than a backup control system consisting of strings and pulleys, which does suggest that the stick isn't really coupled to the controls directly. Still, I was wondering mostly because it seems odd that the Logitech G940 is the only serious HOTAS on the market with force-feedback, something desirable for old warbirds (but not modern jets)...

Other aircraft with force-sensing stick would be F-35, F-22, and RAH-66 Commanche (cancelled). Also, the AH-1Z has such a stick (which is also taken from the F-16).

What I find interesting in watching the banner at TM's site is how high the stick base appears to sit on the actual base itself. Almost like there is some sort of motor that would drive the stick or something that is holding it tighter than the stock Cougar.
I wonder how much longer we will have to wait on the information and if Frugals is going to come back up with more information IF/WHEN they ever put it back up.

Interesting, well, you would know. So the stick does move around then?

Yes, in a Z, both in the front and back seat. It's PIC choice as to what cockpit he/she wants to fly from, typicaly it's from the front.

Everybody likes to speculate so here`s my predictions:
1. Stick. deflecting with hall sensor(s), helical spring with adjustable tension, not force feedback, very similar to but not the same as an F16 stick.
2. Throttle. hall sensor with ancillary function buttons on the base, adjustable tension.
3. Available Q2 2010, retailing at $400 to $500
4. Rudder pedals. A new three axis pedal set up by Q4.
these are just my musings so don`t take em too seriously
all the best Not too bad but I wouldn't put any thoughts down about a new rudder setup from them. Also I think the cost may be a bit on the high side with them already having the stick molds ready and working from the Cougar. About the others....well we just have to wait and see.

Waiting and seeing is the hardest part. I figured this would be out in time for Christmas, because the first ad showed up on their site back in October.

Came here asking my self the same thing ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile!.gif) . Aparently not. ![frown frown](/forum/images/graemlins/default/frown!.gif) I only hope its not force sensor, but i also agree looks like it will be force sensor.

If it uses hall sensors then there must be some movement.
