Last I saw Gamecab was using the exact same handles as the Real yoke (2nd revision yoke). A much better material would be the plastic kids toys like in the BYO yoke. |

Not only is it against the forum rules, it is totally unjustified. How can you tell what "high enough quality" is from those pictures? |

still funny the only pics i can look at are not on the site theyre sold on! looks good though. i think the price is pretty good considering that there is lots of steel in it and its a pretty low volume production. |

This link http://www.gamecab.com/yoke.htm shows a black gloss painted flight yoke base made from .118 of an inch 3310 construction steel. This steel is the same steel that automotive disk brakes are produced from. I also feel that .118" of this material actually makes this unit overbuilt. Each part was laser cut at a metal fabricator and has a margin of error of .003. Show me a lack of quality in that link. If you are looking at the prototype postings then you may want to add comments to that thread. Charlie |

I think that's a good price for what you get. I see incomplete originals go for $100+ on ebay. Whoever buys that needs to find the missing parts (or buy two), then figure out how it all works, hack in an adaptor box, repaint all of it... etc. |
