Recommended Posts

Shipped on monday and now they are at Unna (Germany). I just can wait to get my hands (or should i say my feet?) on these pedals. Cant wait to use them with my new hotas Warthog!

 

Hmm, just a few KM from my home. Fortunately I already own a pair :-)

When I was very young I would sneak around and unwrap presents, just enough to see what was in there, and it would drive me crazy to not be able to play with what I knew was under the tree.

 

Now, since I am single, I just treat myself and don't worry about the date.

 

This was my gift to myself this year.

Pendleton has been making fine hats for nearly 150 years and this year I decided that I deserved one.

Thanks. One of these days i will post some pics of my entire hat collection. I think I own around 60 hats (lots of them are from concerts I have been too along with a large group of aviation relate ones). Most of them I never wear.

Like women and shoes. Or me and my Steam library. In a way, we're all the same. :D

 

Back on topic, I feel your pain, guys. When mine came I was like a kid before Christmas. This actually being Christmas-time probably doesn't make it any easier for you. ;)

I love hats and have many too! One of my favorites is an Australian Outback hat that I bought 35 years ago. Made in the USA, Wool, etc. Have used her for many hiking, hunting, and Jeep trail trips!

Cool. My Pendleton is more of a style thing than a useful hat. Most of the time I wear ball caps but when I want to look good, a fedora style is much better.

Been flying with the MFG's since Christmas morning. Followed Milan's video's, and made some minor tweaks to pedal angle, and the brake tension.

 

All I can say is WOW! They are a huge difference to my former Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals. Simply wish I would've bought them sooner!

 

I definitely can sense the greater amount of control & precision with the MFG's.

 

Thanks Milan, a great product and I would highly recommend to anyone!

I received mine on tuesday and i've flown with them couple times. Since these are my first pedals ever i cant compare them to any other pedals and it feels very weird to control your rudder with your feet instead of your wrist. I just have to get used to them but i like them very much and they feel very accurate and high quality pedals! And its also great that they are very adjustable, unlike many other pedals out there.

Another unsolicited testimonial. I Had Simped pedals with no toe brakes for years and flew sim jets with no problems; HOWEVER, when I decided to try the P-51D, I could hardly control the aircraft on the ground. Decided I needed toe brakes and, since I could afford the costly MFG Crosswinds, that is what I bought.

 

I am truly amazed at the difference they make controlling the aircraft on the ground, especially take-off roll and landing. My issues controlling the aircraft after touchdown all but disappeared.

 

I have not always been in the financial position I now enjoy and fully understand that the cost of these pedals for a hobby can be difficult to justify. I am just saying that if you are considering a purchase of pedals and can afford the MFG Crosswinds, do not settle for a lesser product.

I've been holding to buy these for about a year now, waiting for Milan to release the F-16 style pedals.

 

Would be great if he could give us an update on those.

I am waiting for the Combat style pedals aswell. But honestly,don't hold back on buying those pedals just because of that. I own pedals of the first batch from 2013 and they are still going like on day one. You can swap out the stock footrest with the combat style easy,when they get finaly released. I bet you could modify your Saitek footrest to fit on the MFG pedals with some DIY.

Looks to me like he just drilled a whole that's a bit offset. Or the top screw is just resting next to the frame of the base.

It seems my CH Pro Pedals went to hell after 5 years of service.:( Is the MFG Crosswind still really worth it?

 

All you really need to do is some reading over all the pages of this thread. I did that before ordering mine about a year ago, and knew from all the positive comments they had to be something special.

 

So I ordered them, got them in and hooked up, and wow - I found them to be even more special than what I had anticipated.

IMHO - they are well worth every penny.
