Not the same principle
by never2dark from Lake Charles LA USA 
Pros: Accurate
Cons: Unrealistic force feel.
Review: The tension adjustment on these pedals is simply a drag adjustment, and not a centering force adjustment. Having the pedals be harder to recenter after pressing them to one limit is not the same as what you experience in the air. I'd much rather be working against a spring or bungee.
That being said, the pedals are accurate, but since I keep the force adjustment near zero, I tend to fly with a little rudder one way or the other.
Glad I bought the cheapest of the three models!

Take time and think
by Bill Wenzel from Pensacola Fla. 
Pros: Built solid and works perfect. It takes some time to twek, but it,s well worth it.
Cons: None
Review: The unit works great and the quality is right up there with the yoke & throttle quad. Tip: To the guy that was complaning about the the USB cable being to short, well it,s fine, just plug it in the port on the yoke. Also the guy who was having trouble with his pedals sliding on carpet. He needs to use the course velcro strip that comes with the pedals. They will stay put.

Excellent, Affordable, Solid!
by CaptBlanc - NoseDivers Virtual Squadron from PA USA 
Pros: Good response, and well built / durable. Adjustable size / tension.
Cons: Needs to be braced or mounted. Light weight and will slide.
Review: Does the job of providing a quality set of rudder pedals without being overpriced. Sensitive, accurate, reliable and adjustable. I'm quite happy with 'em!

My 2nd set of these.
by Shaun from Clatskanie OR USA 
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, comfortable for long flights, even in helos..
Cons: Touchy brakes, seems to lack authority in a hard (fixed-wing) side-slip.
Review: I bought them twice. That should say a lot right there. As always, it takes a gentle foot on the brakes or they can be VERY grabby, even if you set the sensitivities down a ways. I'm still trying settings to see about a seeming lack of authority in a hard (fixed-wing) side-slip... I can't get enough rudder in to cross-control the ailerons. Other than that, I like them enough to have bought them again. I've flown helos a bunch with these too, and they do VERY well in that aircraft type.

Great!
by William from Springfield VA USA 
Pros: adjustable tension and pedal height, precision control, independant breaks feature, works great with the Saitek Pro Yoke and Quadrant system
Cons: slips under your feet, must somehow attach it to the ground.
Review: It's great - the tension adjuster is a great feature; the pedals are size-adjustable; it's plastic so it feels a bit wobbly but it's still a sturdy build. However, you will need to fix it to the ground, otherwise it slips whether you have a hard floor or carpet.

It does what it is supposed to do
by Duane from Fontana CA USA 
Pros: easy to use.
Cons: Not as stationary as I would have liked.
Review: This was the last accessory that I needed to complete the flight experience. It works exactly as I anticipated it would. the only minor drawback is that it slides on the carpet under the desk. A 2by4 stopped it.

I would recommend this product to anyone interested in flying.
by Marcia from Tallahassee FL USA 
Review: This product was a gift for a 14 year old in love with flying. He loves it, and is so thrilled to have the whole system to practice with. He says it feels like the real thing.

When his flight instructor took him up for his first lesson he was really impressed with his skills. Congrats on producing a great teaching product.

Solid pedals
by James from APO AE USA 
Pros: Decent feel and extendable base platforms.
Cons: May have conflicts with certain programs, particularly MS FSx
Review: Everything is fine, only you will want to read-up on the internet as far as getting these rudder pedals to work with MS Flight Simulator X. You have to adjust some controll settings to fix a conflict with the brakes. Check it: http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=10566

by donald from mooresville IN USA 
Pros: make's for better & smoother flying.
Cons: so far i have no cons.
Review: These are the 1st pedals I have ever used, so I have nothing to compare them with, thats why I gave them 4 & not 5 stars. I love these pedals, I use to use a twist stick for my rudder.  One of the things I like about useing these pedals, is that I'm not so hard on my stick any more, alowing me to have smoother flights. easy to set up, and they work great with my saitek X45 J/S.

by Carey C from Sibley LA USA 
Review: It met expectations and works well with IL-2. The construction seems a little more sturdy than my previous set (same brand); would rate a 5 if were metal and very sturdy. I fly it with my toes to avoid putting as much pressure on it as you do actual rudder petals. I would recommend it to flight sim pilots.

A Good Buy
by Steve Steinbrecher from Pollock Pines CA USA 
Pros: Pretty much flies like the real thing
Cons: Cheesy construction and confusion with set up of tow brake function
Review: Easy to set up, and once tweaked and with a little practice, these rudder pedals work in a pretty realistic fashion. They (even at the highest compression setting) are a lot more sensitive than the real thing, but if you fly enough with them on a regular basis, they work fine. Brakes are REAL touchy, and there was confusion setting them up with the owner's manual, but checking on-line for fixes helped out. One gripe: I have a size 13 foot, and I always fly in socks, because the product, even with screwed to the floor, has a cheesy, plastic feel and I am always afraid I am going to break it.

More real than ever
by Ralph from San Juan Puerto Rico USA 
Pros: Great addition to my flight training
Cons: Better floor grip so they don't slide
Review: The Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals have enhanced my computer flight simulation training! As an ultralight trike pilot, I have been able to duplicate the real trike pedals' function, into my ultralight trike flight simulation training (MS-FXSIM), with these pedals. By pressing the right foot pedal you get gas input and by pressing the left pedal you get brake input. Pushing the pedals to rotate them forward or backward allows the "SIM" trike to go left or right while moving on the ground! You can also adjust the pedal tension with the center knob. This makes the experience more real than ever!

by Dan from Singapore 
Review: Great product so far, though you'll have to figure out a way of keeping it from slipping around. I just butted it against the wall behind and under my desk. That works. No problems with the drivers or the configuration software. Because of problems I've experienced with the X52 Pro HOTAS, don't expect support from Saitek if you do have problems.

Review: Does what it is supposed to do and does it well. I have had no problems and these pedals meet all my expectations. I love the adjustable tension to suit different aircraft. Great buy for the pilot looking for a realistic simming experience.

challenging but fair
by Jody from Panama City Beach FL USA 
Pros: works well with flight sim x and saitek yoke system
Cons: programing and slips on carpet
Review: Works well - but one item, had to fudge with the settings and programing to set controls.  Out of the box the rudders controlled the rudder and ailerons all at the same time.  The instructions are less than the easiest I have used.  With some time and tweaking the pedals work great.  About 2 hours to sort it all out.  The unit also does slip some on carpet.  I am sure I can find a solution with little effort.

Solid and spaced properly
by Lawrence V. from Mesa AZ USA 
Pros: smooth operation and more realistic spacing
Cons: toe brake too sensitive.
Review: I like the rudder spacing. They are more similar to the planes I have flown. The pedal operation is very smooth..much better than another brand I used. I have had problems getting the toe brakes to set up less sensitive. So far I have removed the brake action from the pedal and put it on a control switch...May be able to get them set properly as toe brakes with more effort on my part. I like the quality and adjustment feature.

Excellent Realism
by Jettech from Rosemount, MN 
Pros: Durability, ease of operation, smooth control, easy set up, adjustable pedal tension adjustment
Cons: Not many. Requires some inovative thinking to keep it from sliding around
Review: This is by far the finest set of rudder pedals that I have ever seen for the money. The tension adjustment allows you to add as little or as much resistance as you like. Required very little set up time. Not quiet plug and play but close enough. As a student I have always had a problem with runway alignment during takeoff, but these have allowed for some really great practice with p-factor and torque settings at maximum, they have really made a big difference in my flight training.
