[simpits-tech] New Toy - Saitek X52

[Robert Barringer]

I'm not too excited about it. I've had a few bad experiences with their 
products, I don't think their quality control is that good. I like 
realistic-looking flight sticks, these things look more like toys. And I 
don't think the stick looks very comfortable to use. I'm sticking with my 
Suncom SFS Talon stick and throttle quad, at least until I can build a 
proper simpit.
