This is such a fun mission. Even during testing we were having a blast! Be sure to come hang out and have some fun!

Well, I have also ordered the Virpil products. I had "Operational delays" from Fedex also. Of course, due to the Easter Holiday, the delivery was also delayed even longer. Well, they just arrived this morning. (they lost my Rudder pedals. Sort of; they say customs split the shipment and only cleared the third package this morning. So the same thing that Dscross had is happening to me. (freeking Fedex) I even called and asked HOW it was possible for the exact same shipments going to 2 different countries have the exact same delivery issue. They had no reply and for my order are laying blame to customs clearance. I purchased the Constellation Alpha Grip with the Warbird base, the CM3 Throttle and the Ace rudder pedals. Anyhow, here are my first impressions... The packaging was great. Everything was very well protected. Not a single mark on the products. It also came with all the tools needed to mount and change peripherals. The stick feels incredibly smooth. I can only imagine how precise it should be as I am still setting up but wanted to write this quick first impressions before I fly for a few days and do a full review. (NOTE: I am going from a Saitek X52 to the Virpils) the mounting to the plate and the stick to the base was very easy. You can just feel the quality of the product. The Throttle, well that is another thing. This feels is like nothing I have ever felt. The movement is so smooth. It feels incredibly precise. Every switch, button and knob feels smooth. no binding or "grit" at all. The "tension" on all the rotary dials seem to be perfectly set. I mean even using my pinky finger on the one within reach of them is effortless! Now I am off to set it up and fly. A full review will be forthcoming within the week. So far, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!
