Which Throttle Quadrant to buy

[blampars]

Just recieved my CH Quadrant yesterday to complete my HOTAS setup and I have to say it's a great product. Sturdy, quality build. Colored knobs can be replaced so you have the order you want for engine controls. 6 levers plus 6 buttons that can be pressed up or down for switches in the aircraft or whatever you want.

Loving it, really adds to the immersion factor!

I've only the HOTAS setup from CH and it's really good, precise, sturdy and the software/driver offer a large field of possibilities. I had no problem with COD, no spiking. I've always heard good things about their products, but the design can be a concern for some people.
Here is a link to a test on SimHQ: http://www.simhq.com/_technology/technology_035a.html

But if you prefer the saitek go for it, the issue was rather an exeption than the norm.

Ahh good to hear so not all of the Saiteks will spike.

For the CH - don't you find the base a bit bulky?
For me, and the clamping to the desk and my desk layout, the Saitek looks like it would sit next to my warthog throttle a bit tighter.

I may only need the 3 levers although 6 can always be used but COD would be the only thing to use them as ROF doesn't need Trim.

What do you guys assign the first 3 axis to? Engine management or Trim?
Would Trim on a hat switch work ok? That's what I use in DCS like the A-10 but it may not be quick enough in a dogfight.
