I'm looking for a very old USB version of the "F-16 Combat Stick" with the smaller base compared to the newer Ch products "568 Combat Sticks".

It looks like this but USB...

I have one that is really past it's best and would like another spare one.

I live in England UK. Please email me "coulditbemanilowATyahooDOTcoDOTuk"

Many Thanks

Manilow,

The difference between the two models is the last use the Fighterstick base, that have central pin in gimbal in steel (and more strong coils), the old mod have this pin in plastic that wear.
I have one these old (perfect for WWII planes due the two big press buttons instead HAT's) and fix this wear adding acrylic sheets on side of pole.

Thanks for the reply,
The wiring is the problem in mine. I cracked a cable and had to test the loom that runs into the top of the stick.

Here's what mine looked like while I was fault finding....

I'll keep looking on ebay in the meantime.

Hello;
I have a Suncom SFS Flight Controller With Throttle if your interested. It's not being used currently, and its in very good shape.

We can discuss on Teamspeak.

Thanks...

In CH-Hangar there where the wiring diagrams - but after the brand was sold for another group the FTP is down...

Ask in Hardware Help, maybe maybe someone has the files.

I have a MS sidewinder precision 2 still in its box in my attic but really want another Old USB ch combat stick.
I have the new CH products 568 Combat stick and it feels too square for helicopter flying in DCS world and FSX Xplane etc.


I'll keep an eye on ebay. I just know what us guys are like for hoarding old joysticks ;)
