CH Users, Success with Air-Air Refueling

I have more problem with the throttle than the stick. It’s very hard to maintain 300 knots.
well, you are going to need to adjust the throttle to maintain 300 knots. There isnt any helper forces to make you stay at 300 knots, so it becomes a case of balancing two forces - thrust against drag. Drag increases through a complex curve, but generally increases with increasing airspeed, generally significantly so. Thrust is primarily proportional to throttle position (some simplification is going into that statement). With unbalanced forces, you will end up accelerating away from your current position - but this will change your velocity, and in turn change your drag, which can help by damping the acceleration effect, or hinder by exacerbating it.
The key thing is small adjustments having the capacity for large change. You should be able to perceive small changes in aircraft acceleration relative to the tanker, and use throttle to correct those changes, then make other changes to correct the now incorrect position. It isnt about reading the numbers, because a 1 quarter knot speed difference wont show on the tape, but it will still give you a drift.
This is core concepts of flying formation. Two key areas that might need improvement. Either the stick itself, if its not set up correctly or damaged, or simply not of appropriate quality - and the organic stick actuator, which might need some upgrading or training.

there are many threads to be found here with good advice on AAR and not necessarily limited to your hardware.
Yeah I know , i’ve only asked about the hardware side of the thing… for sure I need more training , no doubt about it

coming from a low res to a high res should give you adjustment problems of too much sensitivity. but ive read about people adding rubber bumpers and bands to the CH kit to add a bit of friction near the middle.

Fixed my problem. Bought a Warthog and easy, peasy now.

someone once said " the poetry of a man’s words reveals the path he has walked"
but you knew that.
how about a little mod: " the poetry of a man’s words reveals the path she has walked" ?
