Any Cougars for sale? Or forget it and go for the warthog?

Stock WH for the past 6 years, yes.
As for that throttle mod, if someone had that pre-made and was selling it in kit form, wellā¦. money wonāt be a barrier for very long!

I have a Cougar HOTAS throttle and stick that should be in good operating condition. Last used with FW Allied Force when that was working. Iāve just run across this BMS update and thought Iād drag this out and try it. I have the Hall sensor mods done and I canāt remember how to reverse the Y axis. Iāve tried the CCP, but Iām sure Iām missing something. Iād like to get this going again, but I guess if the offer is right, I might just sell it and skip the frustration. The stick also has the gimble mod done by the machinist out in Australia.

Donāt sell it, try BMS first and be really sure that you want to sell it.

No offense, but seems a bit extreme over a trivial thing. Stick at it, itās worth it
In CCP, In grid 2Y, turn the + to a - by simply clicking on it and saving/applying. Or, just check the reverse button in BMS settings on the pitch/elevator axis. Done

Been using my Cougar DAILY since 2002. Yes, it has taken some occasional love, but with mods, it is better now than when new.

In CCP, I think you need to change the + to a - by clicking on the relevant button

Well, it really is up to you : basically, the choice boils down to whether the Cougar throttle compared to the Warthogās is worth the 15 years of use of any used Cougar. I personnally went for the Warthog : easy to find/buy, and I pretty much know it is going to last 10 years.
I find the Warthog throttle lacking when it comes to the antenna elevation, which you must map on buttons rather than axis ( for the range knob, it doesnt matter much) if you want it to be handās on.
I map my antenna elevation to the throttle friction knob in the middle of the extreme right hand part of the throttle base on my warthog. It works great. Of course its not as ideal as having it available without taking your hands off the throttle. But, I find when Iām moving the antenna around looking for contacts Iām not jacking around with power settings anyway.
I guess it may come down to what your used to. I for one donāt find this situation all that limiting.

Cougar needs constant repair and maintenance. Like real fighters are.
Warthog has a good reliability.Or go for itā¦

Only $4,500. Wow!

I probably could pay someone half that money for a fully-modded Cougar

ā¦not really meant for us. Your tax dollars, at play.

Warthog has a good reliability.I will challenge this statement. A cougar may need infrequent (not constant) repair/maintenance. Time will tell how Warthogs hold up over the years.

Thanks for making a statement better, Yes not so as constant as like if I have to do a repair every month. Had been met several problems since I got mine, and Possibly in the near future.

Iām lucky to have two. One is entirely in bits, the other is Uber2NXT hall. The one in bits is awaiting FCC3 and the throttle is there purely as a source of parts (looking at you, microstick!).
