Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for private pilot training. All of the switches, throttles, etc. are easy to set up and use. The problem is the quality of materials makes this unsuitable for training for piloting a real plane. After a short time the internal friction builds up so that it is impossible to get the yoke to center. This means that it is not possible to get a plane trimmed out and the pilot must make constant attitude adjustments. Also because of the friction a firm shove is required to initiate any movement. This technique transferred to a real plane causes a very abrupt application of force to the flight controls. Needless to say this makes practicing IFR just about impossible.
After the problem developed I contacted CH to troubleshoot it. They were very helpful and eventually agreed to exchange it. Within a few hours of flying with the replacement it developed the same problems. This is despite the polishing and lubrication recommended by the support staff.
If you are looking for a yoke to add realism to your flight training steer clear of this one as it will cause you to develop bad habits that will be expensive to break. And after all, weren't we SIMing to save money in the first place?
