    Use for second Joystick?

    Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for a decent price on a CH Throttle and Pedals to go with my Fighterstick. I've had boatloads of success with just the Fighterstick and keyboard but it's time. I just found a woman selling her husband's CH FlightStick, Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals for $120 CDN so those are on the way right now. Poor guy. She said he doesn't really use them and they are just collecting dust and I figure if I don't take them off her hands some other lucky bastard will. So I originally planned on selling the FlightStick or maybe keeping it around incase I could ever get a friend or family member into flight simming, but it just donned on me. Does anyone have an extra stick as part of their setup? Even if just for a few extra buttons or something? I don't have a ton of room on my desk and it might not even be feasible, but I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on it.

    Thanks boys!

    If you have space in desk leave the 2nd stick at left or ahead PRO throttle and use their buttons/trigger/HAT's, throttle wheel axis, for secondary functions (e.g. toggle fuel, landing gear, etc).

    Or, sell then and invest the money in CH Quadrant, will be more useful = 6 axis, 12 buttons.

    Ah using the money to invest in a CH quadrant would be a good idea. Lewis I get the sense he doesn't know. It makes me feel slightly guilty but she's the one selling the stuff! If someone's going to be the beneficiary, why not me? Haha... my girl told me "don't worry I'm sure I'll do the same to you at some point down the road."
