Pros
Seems like a very sturdy, accurate and well thought out system. Worked well except for the defect listed below.

One thing though is that you're really going to have to get the pedals too (almost as much as the yoke and throttles. Otherwise you have no rudder control. I tried mapping it to a throttle lever, but that was ridiculously hard.
I'm an aspiring pilot who has 7 hours of (real) flight time behind the controls of a (real) Cessna 152 and 172.
