Gruman Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Interesting... Will extensions be available at preorder as well? What is the weight of the throttle and the stick? The thin deskmounts with the small surface friction clamp makes it look a lot lighter than advertised... Whats the estimated shipping price from China to Europe?

Icebeat Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Interesting but, I will not pre-order and recommend to not pre-order until we have multiples exhaustive reviews. If the quality is similar to "Tranvel" and "Repilica". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniron Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Questions: 1. Will you sell the throttle separately and what are the individual prices? Taurus base + F18 grips? 2. Do you plan on a "replica" panel that has the controls that are in those positions on the real F/A-18C, with the correct dimensions? 3. Do you have any other aircraft planned already for additions to the throttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVSiN Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Love it.. really do.. but why why waste all that space and switches on the "ground power" switches which pilots DO NOT USE AT ALL. Those switches are wasted in a sim. Those are only for us maintainers to use on the ground. Why not remove them and use some other useful switches there instead other than going for the full replica when it's wasted space and switches.

The thin deskmounts with the small surface friction clamp makes it look a lot lighter than advertised... Whats the estimated shipping price from China to Europe? Thanks Dear Gruman, Yes, the extensions will be there then. The weight is a problem ,we still work hard to reduce the package weight. You can buy from our Euro/US store(1.5 more month for ship transport), or send from China by air. About the desk mounts, we have simulation when design them, when 100lbs force from top and 50lbs force from side work together on it, less than 2mm move on top of grip. It's as strone as your bike structure, you only need to worry your desk board! Thank you very much.

Dear sir, We are very entangled with the panel when design it. We want something original,but useful. Finally, we decide to keep the original look and make more optional panel like "combat ready"/"take off". you can see them when pre-order in July. The most important is all those are affordable. Thanks for your suggestion.

jaguara5 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) 1) Will there be an official dealer in Europe, where we can send faulty units for maintenance? Have a not so good experience currently with another company. And having to ship a unit back to China sounds not so great. 2) What is the warranty time of the product. 3) Could you share the official price in Euro, including all import taxes (besides shipment)? 4) Mirage 2000?
