F-16 Force Sensitive Side Stick Update:It seems easy enough to steer the =
aircraft where you want it with precision.  It takes some getting used =
to since the stick forces are much higher than a standard PC joystick, =
but welcome to reality. =20

"Welcome to reality"
I think you can use that for your marketing slogan :)=20

Just wonder if you will be testing the stick for wear and tear. To =
ensure that preformance will not degrade slowly (or as rapaid as the =
original cougar) due to normal usage by the rough hand of virtual pilots =
:)

Good luck with the Airforce. Look forward to hear the price......If I =
can afford it, I think it will be the most expensive item in my pit.

Does it offer a life time warranty :) ?=20

Cheers,
