The all-metal cams decided it for me and I ordered a Cadet Aeromax from Virpil last year. It arrived a month later and the stick motion is indeed a delight but it's a new design and sometimes components fail - what's important to me then is the rectification process.
Despite this being a modestly priced entry-level product, I'm happy to report I've been getting high-end support from Virpil EU and Virpil UK; very fast response to messages, constant updates, flexible options to resolve and totally professional staff. What happened was my two stage trigger reverted to single stage; a small metal part fatigued, and although I always had the option of uplift-fix-return, being mechanically minded I asked for just the replacement part so I wouldn't be without the flightstick.
Mechanically, electronically and software wise, I still feel this stick is an outstanding bargain and I now know Virpil's support is outstanding too: I thoroughly recommend this company and their products, they are plainly committed to excellence in all regards.
