How about a couple of this ?

Are they heavy and metallic, like the Warthog throttles made by the same company?

Or light and plasticky?

Unfortunately they don't specify...but my guess is plastish someway...they charge an arm and a leg (228$) for just the grip of the F/A-18 to mount on the stick of the Warthog...

This new Airbus stick, does indeed looks very interesting. But I believe that this is updated Thrustmaster - T.16000M stick. Even the throttle looks the same. Expect more plastic and less sturdiness. There are some Youtube "first reaction" videos, that are mainly positive.

I do own Warthog HOTAS and I am very happy with that system. Given the fact that I am looking for another joystick for my new laptop, I am considering this stick. I see it as a basic necessity (taking less space) and I rather save more funds for my B744 cockpit. :)

Best!

For me the throttle is interesting... since in the description they mention the possibility to add a second device...
I also have the Warthog and I like it... but the price of the F/A-18 grip (not the whole stick) is absurd....
