Originally I was late for the cobar handle, but due to some wired bit of luck I got the cobar one :D

There is a little gift that come with the package as well! Nice little detail.(Won't spoil it for anyone though) :wink:

Thank you Daisy for the all the emails to alert me all the status change, I really hope that doesn't bother her too much :)

Congratulations!

So, how does it feel? Are you planning to change cams and/or springs? What sim are you using it with? DCS perhaps?

Sorry, lot of questions, but I am excited for you as I am still waiting on my Mamba....

Smooth as silk, the current springs is good enough for me without the extension, If I want to use the extension I might change into the harder spring though(but its still fine without changing spring) not sure about the cam, I will need to test it but I love the preinstalled cam as is, but I assume the optional cam only adds a harder centering force to the stick, might be a good idea to switch in if the extension is used.
I fly many different sims, DCS UH-1 for example, but I also like GA aircraft and airliner (both XP10 and Prepar3D) as well (PMDG FTW!)

Congratulations for joining the club of the lucky owners, Mr WHIMington!

The cams labelled "30" are the "hard center" ones. Except for the noticeable center, I can't feel any difference compared to the default ("10", soft center) cams.
I also remembered you shared your logo designs and it's looking good! ;)

Have fun flying with that beast!

Looks like we EU people are all out of luck on this one :P

I read they have to ship to the store here first. Any idea on shipment dates though? (LE MK3 without extras).

Joysticks is ready. We are preparing shipment to Europe.
Shipping to the US is very simple. But to Europe is much more difficult((( Need more time.

Originally I was late for the cobar handle, but due to some wired bit of luck I got the cobar one :D


you have _my_ cobra, give it back!! ^^ at least let me thank you for rubbing it in, very kind!

life's a b1tch (sometimes at least) :cry: ordered early but still too late for the cobra-mamba and still no f-ing delivery up to now, not even tracking info yet, because I'm a eu customer and added warthog adapter to my order... ordered pedals mkIII during the wait, to ease the pain... now I've got pedals but no stick and that hurts even more :mrgreen:
