Wot? you don't think I did? The thing is made of cheese I tells yer.

It wasn't the wires that broke, it was the poxy 1mm thick plastic clip things in the pokey bit. You''ll remember these words, I promise!

So true Dutch, my clip pro broke down to pieces progressively. When I fixed it, another piece broke down. This thing must have been engineered to be made of steel but then someone did a clever value engineering and gave the drawings to a cheap plastic mill. A 0.1 mm plastic swivel with 0.1 plastic pivots cannot last a lot. By the way the normal hat clip works better.

i just fell down the stairs. Not to serious, so people please hold back on the well wishes, get well soon cards and flowers. How random is that? Dutch would say its Kama... but I am still laughing at his "pokey bit".


Sometimes the best defense is attack.

I have over the years upgraded from a cheap stick to a good quality stick and throttle. Then it was rudder peddles. That was a big leap forward. 2 years ago I got my hands on a second hand trackir setup, that was probably the best purchase to date. Only problem is the led fingers breaking and needing repair but it just needed gluing.

TIR is a must have now. I can't imagine what I did all those years without it. The rudder pedals are nice, but I could do without them. They sure do help on takeoff and landing, though.

It is a bit fragile. I have a fairly heavy-build set of headphones, Medusa surround sound, which I bought for the surround sound and because the headset cable is reasonably strong, about 4mm dia (I have a graveyard of headphones with thin failed cables). The Pro Clip clips onto the headband above the left earphone and I use black domestic tiewraps to tie the Pro Clip cable to the headphone cable. The headset hangs on a hook when I'm not using it and I handle it carefully when I put them on/off. In short, treat it with care and it will be ok. Yes, that spindly piece of molding used to flip off if I knocked it but black insulating tape is my friend.
