Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog

Description

HOTAS Warthog in original box. It is used and has been around for quite a few years, but it is fully functional and has undergone several maintenance procedures performed by me over time. The throttle has been upgraded with the Slew mini-stick using a Delta-Sim Electronics kit. Included are the original slew stick and the optional component from the Delta-Sim kit. Points to note: some cosmetic paint flaws; regarding functionality, the hat switch designated as CMS (right thumb) tends to stick and does not return to center without assistance. This is not an issue in most simulation scenarios, especially if one develops the habit of manually resetting it. However, hobbyists are available who can supply replacement hats. On the throttle, the original friction pads have been replaced with Teflon strips that provide the same effect. The original rubber pads degrade after prolonged use—a design flaw inherent to these HOTAS units. Nevertheless, my repair is excellent: the throttles slide smoothly with precision and without "stickiness", and the tension adjustment remains fully functional. I will list other items separately, including an F-18 grip and desk mounts; if you are interested in those as well, we can negotiate a discount.
