I am using CH Fighterstick and Ch ProThrottle myself. By design and programming ergonomy I would not change it even if getting payed for doing so. Only the spring in the stick could be a bit stiffer, else a superior combo, imo: easy to program, but maximum flexibility and plenty of programmable "slots" (max>140)
