    Anyone use WinWing Orion HOTAS here?

    Hi All

    It's been a while!
    I'm just refreshing some gear and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the winwing HOTAS range?

    I've got a WinWing Orion 2 F16EX HOTAS Max with stick extension coming in next few days with desk mounts. Was hoping someone else has had some time with them to give any pointers with setup?

    In the silky tones of Rod Stewart... tonight's the night... it's gonna be alright!!!

    Orion 2 HOTAS Max arrived!
    My gawwwd this thing is so sexy and so incredibly well made!

    Opening the 6 double walled boxes from the shipping box is like a mega Christmas present that just keeps giving!!
    Assembly without manual was very straight forward.

    Had to attach stick extension, F16 stick, F16Ex expansion buttons and rumble motor to stick and base..
    Attach F18 throttle handles and finger lift throttle detent to throttle base..
    Smooth cold touch of metal, and wow is this thing sturdy and heavy! 7.5Kg combined.

    Wow stick and throttle movement feels like the real thing.. (sat in some old F3s and F4s on the weekend at Wings Over Illawarra for reference)

    Can't wait to fire up IL2 and DCS, config and test!
    I'll post some pics later! I'm excited!!!
