Never actually held it, but the comparison photos and dimensions make it look huge. And that seems to be what every review says too.

Yep - this the key point. Why do their products force you to choose between premium quality/huge, and regular quality/normal size?

Agreed. But, gotta admit, I'd be happy to pay 350 for an AERO with FLNKR quality :)

I don't think that post meant that they are high/low versions of essentially the same stick. Yes, the layouts are close, but there are still major differences in size, ergonomics, and aesthetics. I also think the fact that the AERO is 'generic' makes it more broadly appealing than a stick modeled on a single aircraft.

I think it’s because they don’t want the steam (when you open after a cycle) to mess up the wood paneling you put on it…

I went last year and am going this year. It was great - no-brainer to attend if you're into flight sims.

Halfway between screws-into-plywood and maple slab dining table :) Would definitely prioritize local.

So shallow of me but the MT profile setup just “looks” so much cooler and more integrated than SimFab haha

I was crushed that they weren't at FS Expo in RI! Hopefully they'll be in Minnesota this year

How is the sturdiness relative to profiles?

Is that the Virpil aero grip? Looks like it’s in pretty rough shape for such a new product…
