tjrush Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Consider the following: 1. Saitek Pro Flight Yoke $145 2. Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Yoke $195 3. CH Products Eclipse Yoke $194 Prices are current at Amazon for comparison. My questions: 1. Ignoring price, is any one of these significantly better/worse than the others? 2. Considering price, are the Saitek Cessna and/or the CH Eclipse $50 better than the standard Saitek Pro Flight? ________ http://corporateairamerica.com/caaemailsig.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 For the $50 difference in price, the Eclipse gives you more buttons, switches, and one more Hat Switch; the big feature you gain with the Eclipse are Rudder capabilities, via the 'paddles' mounted on the Yoke. With both Saiteks, you'll need to add Rudder Pedals, or else use the Keyboard assignments. I cannot speak about comparing the 'feel' between the Saiteks and the Eclipse, but I've used an Eclipse for 3 years +, and I'm very satisfied. Hope this helps!

av8tor98 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I would say check out VRInsight's Flight Master Yoke II if you are inclined to spend that much. I finally had to buy a new yoke recently after having the Saitek yoke for years. I have mixed feelings about VRI's yoke along the vertical axis but it isn't too bad at all. You can see my several reviews at the Pilot Shop about it...if you want to take a chance on buying one.

VFR_Steve Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 After my CH standard yoke gave up after 5+ years of hard use (it's actually still going I just snapped the mixture lever), I bought a Saitek Cessna yoke and hated it (see here https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?290510-Which-yoke) So I bought another CH yoke, this time the eclipse and I love it, so smooth, well made, whole host of customisation options and no détente :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
