They have something I really want to buy, and I've come to peace with the pound/dollar conversion I'm about to get stuck with, now I'd like to know if I can trust them with my CC.
Has anybody ever purchased from them before?
Anybody got a better/cheaper/trustworthy source for one of these?
$70 (well 48 pounds) Sanwa Analogue JLK-GF2-AT Flight Stick. http://www.giz10p.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=367 (http://www.giz10p.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=367)

It seems to be the smallest anaolg flightstick I could find that was arcade quality?
Anybody know what controller board I might need for this stick?

giz10p.co.uk are a great vendor, you will have no trouble ordering from them.
They are just up the road from me actually :)

Thanks for the info Franco B, I hope they can ship to APOs, their ordering page seems well designed, and had every option for shipping, but sometimes businesses screw up shipping when dealing with APOs, even U.S. companies.
It was cheaper to ship it from the UK to the U.S. then to Germany, then it was to ship from the UK straight to Germany.
I found it also at gremlinsolutions.co.uk, but I don't like to buy from places that don't list prices.
Any idea what controller to use on it when it comes, it uses pots, but they plug into some sort of control board attached? "GP-Wiz40 MAX USB" or "U-HID Nano"

They interface with the GroovyGameGear.com GP-Wiz40 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=76_81&products_id=235 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=76_81&products_id=235)) or the Ultimarc U-HID Nano (http://www.u-hid.com/home/uhid_nano.php (http://www.u-hid.com/home/uhid_nano.php)).
Should handle your question. :burgerking:
