• SIMPED F-16+ rudders

At 258 EUR (~ $350 USD as of 07/02/2007), these might be out of the league for most people, but I have a feeling Gunner might own a pair soon!

Heck, I might too...?!

I like how they resemble real airplane rudders, and not just because the toe brakes - but the way you rest your heel on the floor and push the pedal with your foot forward and back. Most computer rudder pedals have a lip at the base of the pedals to keep your feet from sliding off the top of the pedal. That always felt weird to me, and until this day I still keep my heels firmly on the floor and push with my feet (on the lip). A pair of these would definitely increase fidelity!

How much did you end up paying and was the order easy/quick?

Unfortunately the overseas provider were out of stock and the gentleman who designed them had passed away in May. The store is currently closed for restructuring.

I was able to pick my up from an individual from ViperPits.

As we say in my squadron LD "I GOT MINE!"

Can't wait to hook it up when I get back....oh, and by the way, I will be doing a complete inventory of my stuff prior to your departure!
