MartinW 0 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Or perhaps you don't know yet and it will be a lovely surprise.My daughter's bought me a Saitek X55 Rhino, should be great for Elite: Dangerous and FSX. It comes tomorrow, trouble is she won't let me even glimpse it till Christmas.That's the trouble when your kids grow up, it's pay back time for all the times you made them wait.

J G 927 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I too am getting an X55 for Christmas, it is in the house and hidden from me (In my sons wardrobe) I am also getting Rex 4 and the FSAddon Avro Anson, and possibly the Dads Army DVD boxed set. Given J A's present, I have decided not to go to Disney World this Christmas as I would only worry about what Snow White had hidden under her dress. I have been to Thailand and heard all sorts of stories of "girls" having concealed weapons under their dresses! Link to post Share on other sites

I have been to Thailand and heard all sorts of stories of "girls" having concealed weapons under their dresses! Nice one John. Mine comes today, I'm going to stealthily hide behind the bed when my daughter wraps it so I can catch a glimpse, wish me luck. Great stick for the money, equivalent [metal] HOTAS setups cost a bomb. Have you seen the [very amusing] Froogle video regarding shaft lubrication? Some have issues with a bit of stickiness due to lack of lube in the shaft, plastic cup area. Not a problem with a bit of Vaseline, or silicone lube from Maplin. This is it. Laughed my socks off... Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome stick. Expensive, but they tell me that as soon as you lift it out of the box and feel the weight and awesome build quality you realise why. No twist axis though, so no good for me. I don't much care for pedals. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 @ MartinW. All that lubricating shafts working it up and down and plastic rings makes me think that Christmas and my birthday will come at once this year. And I am looking forward to my X55! Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Turkey! Hopefully a few bits and pieces for my camera. Sadly not this lens though - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1013957-REG/tamron_a011_n_sp_150_600mm_f_5_6_3_di.html BTW - if you are a photographer, prepare to spend money. I mearly have several times on that website! Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oh yes, I used to be a professional photographer, mega bucks for the best kit. We used to use one of these...http://www.sinar.ch/en/category/products/And a Hasselblad 6X6. And a Nikon SLR... all chemical of course in those days, none of your easy look at the back of the camera to make sure it's okay stuff. I'm talking pooing yourself while you agitate the film in a dev tank hoping for the best. Link to post Share on other sites
markhudson6 13 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yep, a very expensive hobby. For a time I got a little addicted to Canon L series lenses. I'm currently in recovery and quite a bit poorer. Regards, M. Link to post Share on other sites
