Basically, it took awhile for them to get it from demo to actually shipping and even then it took over a month for Havok to get his yoke after they said it was shipping.  Interaction and updates were nearly non-existent. Also, he hasn't received the USB kit that was to come with the yoke yet as, correct me if I'm wrong, it's unfinished at this point. Short of that issue being completely resolved, I wouldn't recommend getting something from them not definitively 'finished' and in stock. 

Just a heads up on that - particularly since other, readily available options exist. 
Havok:
The Star Wars USB interface *should* be complete by the end of this month. There are some issues with the firmware that need to be ironed out. Dave is making a dedicated Paperboy one as well, which is basically the same interface, just with some differences for Paperboy. With that said, the other options are available now, and Dave is at this point notorious for missing deadlines. It is understandable once you see the superior job done, but in this case an interface is an interface and I would go with something else, unless this is something that you don't anticipate being done for some time.

ehh, sucks but I guess I can wait.

slightly OT - how well does a star wars yoke play paperboy?
Xiaou2:

 It would probably play it better than the original controller.
 
 Paperboys controller is very clunky IMOP.  Hard to control the acceleration well with it,
partly due to the mass, partly to the way its leveraged, and partly due to the way its
sprung.
