Plus, if it does break during normal use, they will : replace or fix it. The cheaper FLCS is also very sturdy, from what I hear. 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. -- ___________________ jgse...@netcom.com -------------------
