While I'm not a proponent of control loading, I'm thrilled that they met their goal and that it brought all the interested parties together.

$800 is not what I consider affordable for a yoke, but I am one person. Glad they made their goal and it'll be interesting to hear the feedback.

I too was hoping for a lower retail. Something like $300-500, comparable to a high end force feedback driving sim wheel. I'd personally rather spend $800+ on r/w lessons.
Keith, I forget what your reasons were for not being onboard with simulated control loading. Could you refresh?

If you get in on the kickstarter (6 hours to go), it's only $600 CAD... or $563 USD... which is just slightly higher than the range you hoped for.

Yeah but the timing is no good, this is already an extremely expensive month for me. Plus I'm not really one to buy something before the bugs are worked out.

Don't forget to factor shipping costs.

Considering the closest working alternative is $6000-7000
