Well... My Fcs hat is busted, But i went out and got the pro.
Itsa lot stiffer as a stick, but I raised joy senca to compensate.
(bonus is, sniping is a lot more stable now) <G>
Anyhow: back to the ranch...
My busted fcs, and a brokem wcs (as well) will both be sent to 
thrustmaster as soon as I get around to it.
They are excellent when it comes to support.
I have another Wcs BTW... <g>
Bottom line: The hat will break on the fcs...
The Pro Fcs hat? well... it may as well.
I recomend the pro though, if you can get over the stiffness.
Like anything else... it needs to be used to loosen up.
And Descent will use it plenty <G>

Everything else is solid.
The only reason I have a busted wcs is because I stepped on it. <G>

BTW: i'l have to pay for the repairs, but it's worth it having backups.
