Nice grip but heavy, not recommended with long extensions.

This stick is probably about the closest any of us will ever get to holding the controls of an F-18. Keep in mind, you’ll need to purchase the base for this seperate. The base and stick are expensive, but they’ll last you for years. I fly it with DCS and MSFS.
