Can you detach the throttle but still use it? Say if I wanted to mount the throttle on the left arm of my chair, and the flight stick on the right?

The two detach, and the throttle can still be used, but I don't think the connective wire is long enough to span between two arms of a chair. Maybe a foot, foot and a half tops.

They are detachable but you will have a wire going a cross the gap which limits the distance you can move it

There's a cable connecting the two separable halves. When separated, you get about 18-20 inches of clearance, which should be enough for most keyboards.

Yes, you can detach them and spread them apart and still use them as you describe (throttle left). Don't know how big your chair is but average shoulder width is not a problem.

Yes it comes with the tool as well to disengage the lock. U can put it as u like.

Press the throttle stick to off then full throttle and back which initializes the motor controller. Its like a safety so you can connect with partial throttle.

Yes but you aren't supposed to use it while flying because it's the same freq as the controller.

Yes, it does have a thumbwheel throttle on the base just to the left of the stick. It also has small trim wheels for pitch and roll, but they are hard to adjust accurately. The trigger on the stick operates the brakes. Some flight sticks let you control the rudder independently of the aelerons by twisting the stick. This one does not. I suppose CH hopes that you will buy their separate rudder pedals. I use my Flightstick in the open source FlightGear flight simulator. In that program the top hat control which is supposed to let you look in different directions does not work. It might work if I were more stilled in programming. It might work in MS Flight Simulator or X-Plane; I do not know.Paul Yes, it does have a thumbwheel throttle on the base just to the left of the stick.

Transmitter has two main controls. On my Mode 2 left control lever operates throttle and left/right rudder. Right lever operates elevator and ailerons. There are also two other supplementary levers located at top of transmitter. The left one turns on or off the performance of the aircraft or helicopter from high to low. Not all aircraft models have this function but it is handy if the fast mode is too quick for a beginner. The other supplementary lever is for aircraft with retractable under carriage (i.e Harrier, airliner etc). It is a very good product

No, you can't and you don't need to. If you think you need to do it for better balance or something, you are wrong. There is a screw like thing right over the bottom part, and if you loosen it, you can pull the Glidecam further out :)

You can attach it to the throttle, but need something to hold the cable. I got a kit from Northern tool. Works great on my go cart

The left wheel is a throttle wheel. There is a three wheels, one for aileron trim, one for elevator trim and the one on the left of the joystick is for the throttle. Depending on what game you are flying there may be a way to use them for other purposes. This is a great Jstick by the way. I've used them for nearly 20 years now.

It seems Brian has answered this question. The included manual states there is both mode 1 and mode 2. However the right stick control is self centering and the left stick is at least on the three I own controls the throttle speed for the rotors. The left stich is not self centering.. Good Luck and enjoy your aircraft...

Yes, I have a X52 that the joystick went bad with and so I bought a CH Fighterstick and it works fine. The only issue is that without the X52 joystick, you obviously can't clutch and change modes with the X52 throttle. Incidentally I like the CH stick a lot better; it's more precise and a lot less jittery than the X52 stick.

Yes, you can feather the pedal. Throttle control is excellent, especially compared to a controller button!

The joystick connects to the throttle module with a mini-DIN connector, and the throttle module in turn connects to your computer via USB. The joystick cannot be used separately from the throttle module.

Hi, I'm new to this world, and haven't yet installed RealFlight. My understanding, and please check future, is that mode 2 switches the controls from left to right (for lefties).

Yes and no. After I wrote my initial review on the Sidewinder, it worked great for about a week. Afterwards, it was hit or miss as to when it would work. I finally gave up and got this instead: Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight StickNo problems since!

Yes you can. At first I thought you were wanting a Mode 1 vs a Mode 2 transmitter. The majority of users in the USA fly with a Mode 2 (elevator and ailerons on the right and throttle and rudder on the left). What you want to do can easily be accomplished by plugging your aileron servo into the rudder connection of your receiver and the rudder into the aileron connection on your receiver. Hope this helps.Rick B.

hi mode one is popular everywhere but the US it puts the throttle control on the right joy stick I use and recommend mode 2 as that's how most controllers are set up in US and any other way could cause confusion when flying different models

I'm sure it's possible to wire up a foot pedal to a controller to do the throttle... assuming the left hand is the bad one.
