I already get enough of an ear bashing with the models I seem to be unable to resist buying
I purchased 3x 1/200 Fokker 50s at the end of last year, said that's my lot and now I'm up to 24 Fokker 50s, 70s and 100s
Ooo that's nice and I haven't got that one yet...
Pretty much my thinking as well Chris though if the wife spotted me making purchases without first asking then my card would be removed from use!!
Regards
Nigel.

When I purchased a drone around 3 years ago, I also ordered flowers to be delivered the same day
I'd come off a night shift and was asleep when they both arrived. Mrs Bravo to be, took them in and when I got up, said the flowers were very nice but asked what they were for.
I just pointed and said 'that box there'

Now if there ever was a story of creeping round the girl-friend then that has to be it!!

A useful and timely thread, as my Saitek unit is slowly dying and long past due for replacement.
Was thinking of the newly-released VKB Gladiator K, but will give this unit some consideration.
Website for the VKB unit is here:
https://vkbcontrollers.com/?product=gladiator-k
I have nothing against Airbus per se, but the bespoke branding is a bit off-putting. Especially as I hardly ever fly modern tubes. But worth some thought, especially if I can drag my current stick out long enough into the fall when both stick and throttle units can be purchased.
