[simpits-tech] Suncom Stick and Throttle

[Steve Wilson]

FWIW - I have a completely, utterly unused Suncom F-15 throttle that I will
be disposing of.  Planning to go eBay unless someone here makes a good
offer - something like 80% of retail.  Not sure what that is.  Any takers
contact me at mafsix@attbi.com and we'll work things out.
