Emphatically YES!! The stick is of a quality I would expect from the aircraft industry. It is cold steel and will probably last longer than me. The throttle control is like something out of Darth Vaders bathroom and when the green LED's light up, it is an attractive sight. I was a bit surprised by the amount of play in the throttles though. I expected the same quality and precision that went into the stick, but it is still within acceptable parameters. Now all I need is the DCS A10c game and I suspect the wife will be asking for a divorce (presuming I am not so engrossed that I even know she is home). Give it a try if you are serious about simming, it is worth your while.
