For the one I’m using now, for all of the ones that led up to what I’m using now?

With or without additional/replacement mods ?

I just entered the current price for my TM WH which is about £300 or around US$380. However, during that time, I’ve also purchased 3 TM Cougars which failed to impress me and failed to keep my boys interested in flying so I’ve sold them off to better homes.
I think a further interesting discussion would be:
“Are you happy with your current setup and not want to change anything more?” (Yes/No)
“What else do you want for your setup and how much more are you willing to spend?”The second question would be interesting because while a TM WH may “only” be £300, a force-sensing stick mod can easily be 450 Euros or £415 just for that one bit of hardware.

Standard cougar which cost me £120 used, about 14 years ago. I bought a second used cougar with uber2nxt mod but am still planning to go fcc3 which will cost as much as the two cougars put together. Mental, aren’t we…

I plead the 5th US Constitutional Amendment…
Lets say if my wife or squad mates ever knew just how much, id never hear the end of it. Suffice to say, a Force Controlled Cougar or Warthog, is like a favorite golf club. Worth every quid. Kind of like Pokemon… ya got to get them all…

Kinda but its all Greek to me anywho…
Seriously, embargo is typically used in a geopolitical economic sanction context. But what you are conveying still comes through. A better American English synonym replacement might be “set a limit” or “defer” or “abstain” or “hold off”.

In context, I think ‘boycott’ would be the more precise English word. Although ‘embargo’ gets the point across.

I honestly don’t remember. I bought my FLCS and TQS back in 1996, under our original currency before we got (screwed with) the Euro. I do remember that they were very expensive, each cost more than any other stick in the store. Later on I also added the SWF22 digital chips as well. I think I definitely paid more than a current day X56 but less than a Warthog.
Then again I doubt if you get 20+ years of service from any Saitek product?
