Better Pilot by FDX183 from Henderson NV USA
Pros: More precise rudder control Cons: The left petal sticks on bake..I have to hit the hit very hard on the left petal...there might be a fix I don't know about...Maybe sometype of internal adjustment..You also have to make sure it's mounted down on a rug or something heavy placed in front of the petal platform..It tends to slide forward on me... Review: Better control of Rudder than regular "joystick." Make sure you center your rudder on your flight deck before taxi..taxi is controlled by the rudder petals which frees your hands in last minute check-list before taking off...Makes turns and banks much more precise...I don't know how I did it without the yoke and petal combination...

Good product by Curt from Milpitas CA USA
Pros: Stays put with rubber feet. Built very strong. Feels like my Dads old Piper Aztec! Cons: None, that I have found Review: I am very satisfied with my CH rudder pedals. Windows XP knows it without loading software. FSX knows it, as well. Just plug in the usb jack and it works. Uncoordinated flight is easy now.. great for crosswind landings, slips and skids. The build quality is great, specially if I am kicking the pedals in a panic landing in the mountains with high wind! Glad I didn't go for the Saitek garbage ,(I bought their flight yoke), which after all the other problems I have had, has now failed totally. Just take $125 out of your wallet and set it on fire. I am back to a joystick now. No customer support from Saitek. I wish I had bought the CH yoke now. I plan to get the CH yoke in the near future since I have seen how good their stuff is made.

Really helpful for student pilots. by A Customer from
Pros: Very much like the real pedal system in a Cessna 152. Review: This product definitely brings another dimension to a flight simulator. Being in the plane doesn't compare to the simulator. However, this product does let you practice landings and take-offs with a cross-wind. The helicopter simulator is much easier with rudder pedals.

Now I am Really Fying! by Noel Robbins from Austin TX USA
Pros: Solid construction, easy hook up, customization and use Cons: None that I have found Review: When I first looked into purchasing a yoke and pedals for flight simulator it was disappointing to find out that there was no product available with force feedback. In fact, the CH Products Flight Sim Yoke and Pedals were pretty much the only I could find, which gave me pause, because I thought without competition maybe the quality wouldn't be very good. This fear was proven unsubstantiated when I received the items in the mail. Immediately I knew from the weight of the box that they couldn't possibly be flimsy, and after opening the packaging (which was excellent as well) I examined solidly constructed, heavy-weight devices to my pleasure. I simply plugged them into the computer and started flying. By changing a few of the control commands in flight simulator I easily customized the yoke to the types of aircraft I fly. The attitude dial on the face of the yoke helped to tweek it in as I calibrated it, and there has been no need for re-calibration or adjustment since. The fact that there is no force feedback has not come to mind since I received this product because it does not need it. The spring action of the yoke does the trick, and while it does not feel exactly like flying a real airplane, your mind is so taken up with all the other aspects of flying that it doesn't matter. It feels real enough for solid practice. I have a friend who learned how to fly back in the 1980's who tried it, and he said he would have given anything to have this set-up when he went through flight school. In particular, it is in performing slips and cross-wind landings that the yoke and pedals show their practical value, he said, but personally having already made numerous virtual flights around my region with the aid of real aeronautical charts and an airport/facility directory, the only thing missing from the feeling of actually flying in my opinion is air turbulence. I love this product!

One of my better purchases by Harold from Glenview IL USA
Pros: The best rudder pedals on the market Cons: usb cable thats connected to the base is located in a bad spot Review: Rudders are terrific and they feel just like the days that I flew my own plane The quick response of the pedals are great. My only complaint would be that the usb cable that comes out of the base should be located in a much better location so that the cord will not crimp.

CH Pro Pedals by A Customer from Abilene TX USA
Pros: Plug and Play, Very precise handling ability. Cons: None Review: I should have ordered the CH Pedals long ago. I plugged them in and installation took care of itself. Great product.

Very satisfied with this pedal set by Paul from Spring Grove IL USA
Pros: USB setup is easy. Pedals are realistic. Cons: None Review: I wanted realistic rudder and brake pedals for aircraft simulation. As a pilot, time spent on the simulator working on tailwheel take-offs, landings and ground handling require true-to-life practice. CH Products exceed my expectations.

Must Have by David from Winchester VA USA
Pros: durable and well made Cons: slides on the floor, even on carpet Review: Great product. You also need the yoke to make a perfect setup. This is well made and very durable. I use it with the yoke to fly practice approaches before dooing the real thing in IR training.

i would buy again but just 1 problem by Gus from Canton GA USA
Pros: alot like a plane Review: The only thing I would change is, I would not make the brakes as sensitive as they are. Even when my feet are not on the petals is still shows the brakes as on. Then you have to hit the heel hard to release them.

by Marty from Austin,Texas
Review: Bought the CH RUDDER PETALS to add to my CH CONTROL YOKE. At that time I also installed Vista. Had problems with cal. Downloaded control manger and all is great. Am a former B-52 pilot and am teaching my 4 daugters to fly. CH Controls and MS FS X have really helped. Thanks...Marty. Austin,Texas

Good product by Mitch from Knoxville, TN
Pros: Sensitive and linear. Cons: Dead spot is a challenge to transition. Review: Pedals give good control and inhance the flying experiance. The brake features don't work ... perhaps it is an inability of MicroSoft's Flight Sim 2000 program.
The dead spot in the "neutral" position is a bit jumpy in transition from one turn direction to the other.

Good for enthusiastic pilots by Heikki Sillman from Finland
Review: Pedals give more realism and make the landing easier in wind.
CH-pedals are big enough for big feet and easy for young users but too sensitive for adults. Better to use without shoes.
The braking movement could be shorter, one inch?

Decent product for the price by A Customer from Silver City NM
Review: Even though the product is fairly heavy, I found that it was easy to move around on the floor. I found that I had to create a method of keeping it still in order to use it properly. Also I found the pedals mounted a bit high and there is no way to adjust them. I felt that a small foot cup at the bottom of the pedals was unnecessary and in fact made it more difficult to operate the pedals.

Smooth action and well made. by Ronald Mixon from Lamar, MO
Pros: Very good toe breake action. Cons: Centering and return pressure a little too light.. Review: The rudder pedals are smooth and the toe breakes are very close to the real thing in operation. The unit is well made.
I do wish the centering pressure was adjustable.
I feel the pressure required to operate them is a little light and take some getting use too.

by A Customer from NORCROSS, GEORGIA
Review: HAVING HAD 2 OR 3 OF THE EARLIER MODELS, IT WORKED JUST AS I EXPECTED IT WOULD THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT I WOULD SUGGEST IS TO HAVE SOMETHING ON THE RUDDER PEDDLES BOTTOM TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING ON A TILE FLOOR. I HAD TO INSTALL A RUBBER PLATE ON THE BOTTOM
TO KEEP IT STEADY. OTHER WISE QUITE GOOD

by G from Jacksonville FL
Pros: Just like a real aircraft pedals Cons: NONE Review: The CH pedestrals are excellent and worth the $$. Met all expectations and work without any problems. Easy installation

by Richard C. Wall from Murfreesboro TN.
Pros: Works smooth and has a real feel. Great contol for steering and rudder. Toe brakes work fine. Cons: No complaints Review: Having the pedals counter each other is the same way it works in an aircraft. I found it to be acurate and felt right.
