Thanks for the warm welcome!
Well I've spent 1000$ (that me and my brother won for winning #1st in an international aircraft design competition) on a home Cessna 172 cockpit already (using X-Plane) with Honey Comb yoke, Cessna rudder pedals, and I made a cockpit panel and sim frame. And Dad gave me the screens and computer. So I had 130 NZD to spend on my first HOTAS. Once I get a job I will look at upgrading.
No I can't, but for now its all I can afford.
Yes, true, I don't have that money, and if I did, I wouldn't want to spend it all on it either.
Thanks!!!
