That was a shock. I knew the price would be higher because it was sent via air freight. But that much?
With two sticks, I can get a UCM for free with that price difference!
Sorry, but after all this waiting, I am now a bit disappointed. Of course I can't say what such an airfreight costs, but if I had ordered the GNE Premium [right hand] and GNE Omni throttle [left hand], I would have to pay an extra €131.78. No thanks.
I wonder how it is possible that everywhere in the world it has the normal price and is even already in stock, but we in Europe can only pre-order and have to pay such a surcharge.
In short: 20 - 30 € surcharge... OK, I would have gone along with that. But definitely not €131.78 :(

I'm not complaining, and I did know about the air-freight surcharge. Just saying that €185 to €265 (an increase of €80 .. or what I paid for my crappy TM TWCS throttle) is a bit much for my taste.

Might as well wait a little longer. :)

Lets wait and maybe we get some clarification.

Meanwhile I already considered my options, and concluded I do not wish to downgrade to lower quality products, likely I could upgrade toward more expensive products.

Are you guys going to make any documentation or video guide on how to setup the EVO into a collective? I'm seriously considering to buy two 'cause of that (one as my standard right control stick, and the other one as collective). :D

You only have to remove the springs and tighten the dampers a bit, like here.

I don't understand the new price, it's really expansive relative to US store, We are no longer in a mid-range price bracket.

- 135$ for a standard right in US
- 223€ for a standard right in europe

if I do a simple calculation ...
1$ = 1.11€

135/1.11 = 121€ with out VAT

121 + 20% = 145€ with VAT why 223 ???? ,an addition of 78€


The US price doesn't include shipping China to US. The EU price does include price China to local EU warehouse.

Thank you for this insightful information. Nevertheless, I would be interested in the surcharge for the airlift. Is there a flat rate?

There was also a miscalculation on the website, prices on the EU store updated.

So what about us that placed an order before the price drop?

You'll be refunded for the difference and get our apologies. Please fill up tickets with the EU vendor for the refund.

Another question, as I've not found an answer by watching the videos on your YouTube channel about the Omni Throttle:

Image

Is it possibile to setup the extension or grip to be 90° to the bottom (with the trigger and overall orientation pointing to the table) like in the picture I've linked above? I'd like to make a collective, and being able to do so would IMO make a big difference. I'm holding another order with an OT and thinking about, simply 'cause of that.
