The old flight stick, 16,000 is on it's last legs. The power setting flop from 100% to 60% and all in between faster than I can adjust.
I need something like the "16,000" ( no room for rudders in my small RV) and a light touch and wrist movemrnt
is very important ( my old wrist and carpel issues cause pain as is after three missions).
A 16,00 that is made better, or just buy two or three at a time.
Thanks

Not sure which stick you mean, but if it is the Thrustmaster T.16000M just get another one. I have one of these and it is still going, but I no not like the cheap throttle on it. I wish there was a simple stick with a good throttle. Or the Saitek X52 is OK but bigger and not all in one. I also have one of those. Mine is OK but since Saitek sold out to MadCats (or what ever) people have reported poor quality sometimes, and that is stopping me purchasing their newer X55 stick. Since you live in the US take a look at some of the sticks mentioned in the flight controller forum here at SimHQ. There are some good looking sticks there, and a lot more expensive. I have no idea how good they are. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/243/1/Flight_Sim_ControllersRegards

I'd just but another.
I have one, and am currently using it, and it is a great stick for the money.
On a side note I have my X52 in storage as I couldn't get the drivers to work with my new computer. Something about Intel USB 3.0 conflicting. Of course Madcat/Saitek has known about this for years and done nothing. Least as of 4 months ago.
Last Saitek product I will buy.

I am very happy with the precision of the T.16000M and would buy the same again.
For that money it seems to be the best stick I ever bought.

I have a new (used less than an hour) Thrustmaster T16000. I bought it and I prefer my old Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. If you're ever cruising past Albuquerque it's yours. Send a PM and we'll see if we can work it out. They're so reasonably priced via Amazon shipping mine to you seems silly, but if we can work something out it's yours.

Well that is real decent of you SteveW.
The Logitech is my third stick - also currently in storage.
The 16000 has more buttons and is, I think, a little smoother.
