16th ACCW

Hey there Bond and Silver,
Glad to see you're around and ready to Fly. It has been a long time. Hope to see you in the Air soon.

I think I’m ready for some online action. Only thing really holding me back is HOTAS programming. I have my old SP3 falcon allied force profile, and it isn’t jiving with BMS. I’ve been working with it, with slow progress, trying to get everything at my finger tips.

Well I was working with my cougar today trying to get programmed and as I’m pulling on the stick, I hear a load pop, the gimbles inside snapped and broke. I’ve attempted to JB weld the broken piece. Waiting for it to dry to see if it holds under the spring force. Sucks, I had a sick feeling in my stomach when I saw the broken peice. I love my cougar!!!

Welll….

Not doing to well, because my gimbles broke on my cougar, I also lost the throttle because it has to hook up to the stick. I’m completely bummed over this. Really the only option is warthog.

That sucks!! A lot of the guys have the warthog and love it. Im going to ask Laser to send you the TS login info tonight. I have the IP but the password is saved on my TS and I can't remember what it is.

Im still using the original Saitek X55 Rhino for hotas. I will probably go with a Warthog or a Vipril setup if it ever dies.
I might try and fix up my Cougar as well. I have a lot of play on the stick and the throttle tension is completely gone plus the antenna pot is broke.

I sent you a PM with the TS info

Hey Bond.. it's good to hear from ya. Looks like the guys have you sorted, if you need any help w/ setting up the new HOTAS, I'll be glad to assist. :)
Looking forward to see you in TS.
