in other words, is it worth the purchase?

1. The deadzone has been said to be intentional. I can't confirm or deny if there was a deadzone on the stick in the real Spitfire, but it's not unlikely. The ziptie mod cannot change the deadzone, it will just reduce the amount of force required to push the stick.
2. The only thing that is absent are wheelbrakes. On the pad you hold the right stick down to activate them, pulling the throttle to zero does not have the same effect.
3. Controls are more precise than on the 1cm thumbstick on the joypad. Looking around is much less troublesome.
In other words it IS worth the purchase.
