That's because last time the F-18 version was back in stock, the throttle base sold out. Literally every other part except the Viper stick and throttle grips (still due on the 15th) is in stock. It suggests either poor planning on their part or that the throttle base is the hardest part to manufacture from all of them. I wish it wasn't so hard to get their gear, I'll be perfectly happy to sign up for a waiting list instead of frenetically clicking on stuff in the middle of the night.

I actually tried getting the F-18 HOTAS on 28th, but the site crapped out before I managed to get to payment. That said, I've got it in cart, at least. So next time it's in stock I'll have a bit of a head start. 🙂 

Not sure about the Viper set. It looks nice, and I really like the idea of the stick, but I'm not so sure about the decision to make the hat switches 8-directional, in the real aircraft they're 4-directional, and I found the diagonal directions tend to be fairly useless (though I never used a long travel hat). Stick shaker and the analog paddle are something that I like, though. I might buy the stick someday.

Try 10 seconds late. That's what happened to me. Gone in time it took me to throw it into the basket and hit "purchase", presumably to my internet being crap. By the time website recovered, they were gone. I hate it, if Winwing hardware wasn't so unique, I'd go to a competitor. I hope VKB and/or Virpil will someday catch up and start offering gear with realistic hat switches.
