The more I use it, the more I like it.
- By Alen from Dewey OK USA on Monday, October 15, 2012
- Pros: price, features
- Cons: no tec support.. if your not pretty advanced ti be your own tec support, get different hardware
- Review: Really like hardware, coulde be little better constructed, i.e. radio dial pots, kind of flakey. Have 2 radio heads, multi panel, swith panel, one instrument disp, yoke and rudders w/ throttles, 2 9 inch monitors. Plan on adding more soon. Only complaint, documentation, poor to say the least, could be printed in a readable format. Only reason for bad review was absolute lack of any tec support from Saitek...opened, called , emailed, never got any kind of awnsers at all. Bought to use in flight training, advise -- shop around for different hardware.

Works great, software install is confusing
- By Jake from Monument CO USA on Tuesday, November 11, 2014
- Pros: Smooth, adaptable, easy to use
- Cons: Bad TQ, confusing setup, adds
- Review: Right off the bat when I opened up the throttle quadrant, I noticed the throttle lever was bending and interfearing with the prop. Foolishly I tried to bend it back and it broke very easily. Was confused when I had software disks for every piece of equipment, but what made it worse was that after installing some things did not work. Come to find out that the yoke does not supply enough power to the USB ports and had to directly to my computer. The rudder controls are awesome and love the adjustable dial. Flight simulator has some issues with them however it was easily correctable. Wish there was a way to get rid of the advertisements on the instrument panel.

Excellent. Including power supply would be a plus
- By Philip-Henry from Evriguet Brittany France on Monday, February 24, 2014
- Pros: Almos(t real, great
- Cons: Power supply for yoke not included - Trim wheel too slow
- Review:
Met perfectly expectations. To be closer to reality, sensitivity on ailerons, rudder and elevator have to be reduced as much as possibloe on flight sim x.
Programming switches quite easy. Trim wheel needs too much manipulating.
More explanations for radio panel would be appreciated (where to find different frequencies for example).
A budnle of several instrument panels would bge excellent if price interesting.
Power supply for yoke should systematically be included - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 24 Other people found this review helpful.

An excellent product for the price.
- By Dennis from Sterling IL USA on Friday, June 09, 2017
- Pros: surprisingly realistic for the price
- Cons: there is little guidance in how to program the various components to integrate their functions with flight simulations.
- Review: The controls have a realistic feel, though there is some excess play in the yoke. It isn't clear how one integrates some of the functions will the various aircraft simulations; such as prop RPM. The rudder pedals could use a break function like real rudder pedals have. I haven't tried the radio and autopilot functions significantly, so I can't comment on what they contribute. VOR navigation in planes with the proper equipment is actually functional enough to give some feel for navigation.
