Saitek Aviator?

Was browsing their site just now and found this on their product pages. They have some pics up in the press images section too.

 

In my opinion, this has to be one of the cooler looking of their line-up of sticks. Mainly because it doesn't look like it's been taken straight from an X-Wing or the Enterprise.

that'll be the 1 that I mentioned in http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12831 then.

Interesting that it has a dual throttle but I don't like the stick part itself.

Functionally, it looks similar to having a old MS Sidewinder Pro USB (which I have as a spare for travel and/or guests). Looks like a fairly useful stick without needing the space/weight of a full HOTAS setup. I will look for it in stores to get a feel for it. I used to give MS SW Pro USBs to my friends to try to get them to fly, but this looks like a great replacement.

don't know if I could get used to throttles at the front ...?
