Zimmerdylan Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 OK, so here it is: Luck smiled upon me this Christmas. I inherited an X55 Rhino, brand new out of the box. And now, I have a spare X52 laying around. So I have decided to pay it forward. I am going to give my X52 HOTAS to one of you guys. There are two stipulations on this: 1. You cannot already own one. That would not be paying it forward on my part. 2. I would very much appreciate you paying the shipping on it. Maybe reimburse me when you get the X52. If you live overseas from me, you are going to have to front the shipping. Sorry, I'm a nice guy but Wow!!! Out of country shipping is just too expensive (but much cheaper than an X52). So, I live in the U.S. I am going to PM a number between 1 and 1000 to SithSpawn to assure that this is a fair deal. The number closest without going over gets the X52. I am going to be taking numbers until midnight Friday, Jan 8, Arizona time. Any submitted after that will not be counted. I'll check every submitted number and pick the winner as soon as I get done reading through posts. In the event that 2 people pick the same number, I'll take the 1st submission of that number. I'll announce the person, send em a PM, and mail the unit as soon as I can. I'm a man of my word so you'll get it. The X52 in question is a year old, in good working condition, and is pretty clean and scuff free. It works well. If something goes wrong with it, I am not liable. It worked when it left here. I'm sure that it will be fine when it gets there. Please be honest and do not submit a number if you already have a good setup. I am doing this because I know the frustration of not having a good rig and not being able to afford one. That is all. Once I pick, it is done. No arguments, bickering, or whatever. You have not invested anything but a few seconds into getting this thing so you have lost nothing by trying. GOOD LUCK GUYS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKungFu Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'll get in on this action since I'm trying to get my cousin to play DCS. So I'm going to say number 52 on account it in an X-52 lol Good luck everyone [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide_Col Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Want the HOTAS !!!

Cykyrios Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I hope the number is not X52, X being a random digit :p Anyway, let's try this: 526! Thanks a lot for the giveaway, my Saitek Cyborg Evo has served me well for the past 5-6 years, but its deadzone is getting so large I'm starting to have trouble flying. Plus it's not a HOTAS, so here's hoping. Good luck to everyone else entering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
