Best there is 
2008-05-15
It works. It works well. It works for a long time. One caution, however. Do not overtorque the hold down clamps or you will strip them and they won't tighten anymore. A gentle snugging down is sufficient.
I love it 2008-05-10
CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB ( 200-615 ) Great product makes flying more realistic work just fine with XP SP2. Little work to get it attached to a non standard desk but I got it to work just fine!
More realistic flight on your PC 2008-04-20
This product is easily configurable in Win XP. It works well with MS Flight Sim 2004, and X-Plane 8.6. It helps with a much more realistic flight experience on the PC. However, its not for fighter simulators, it works but a joystick is better.
Works Great! 2008-04-10
Flight Sim Yoke works great out of the box. I am a private pilot. Except for Microsoft's slightly unrealistic performance of its aircraft, this controller provides a most realistic flying experience right on my computer desk. It makes practice flights to places I plan to fly to a most realistic experience. Try it...you'll like it.

Not 100% happy! 
2008-04-06
After easy hook-up (plugged into USB and my computer read product immediately - ready to use)however, after very few hours of use and with even less use of front button (red) on left handle of yoke, the button got sticky and would not come back up after being pressed. I'm in the process of returning the product(always a hassle).
Good product that is tougher than it looks 2008-07-21
For the price, this is quite a nice little yoke. It is made of plastic, and does not feel super stable, but it has taken quite a bit of punishment so far from me and has proved to be quite tough--much tougher than I had first anticipated. Unlike many of the other reviewers, the built in table clamps have worked just fine for me, though I do have a very thick desk. I am quite pleased with it and would recommend it as a good, cost effective sim yoke. It's not the nicest one out there, but for price, it is great.
Decent for the price...

The good: Easy to use, easy to set up. It was out of the box and "in the air" in less than 10 minutes. Clamps in tight and doesn't come loose, which would really stink while trying to flare after a long flight. Ouch!
The Not-So-Good: The inner springs make noise as you turn giving it a cheap feel. I found the yoke doesn't rest back to the same spot every time, either. My $20 joystick use to "normalize" better than the CH Yoke.
All in all, it's the best deal out there. I'm wondering if I shouldn't have spent the extra few bucks on the Saitek, though.
Alright Starter Yoke 
2008-06-24
I purchased a CH Yoke as my first flight yoke; I've had many joysticks and throttles before. I was expecting this to be great, I've heard many good things about this products and it is one in a few that are in the price range.
Pros: It's USB and installs easily. It works with almost all Flight Sims (including Microsoft's FSX and X-Plane)
Cons: It seems to be cheaply made, thin plastics. It doesn't mount well to most desks and tables that I have tried it on.
The BIG disadvantage that I cannot stand is in the pitch axis. It's impossible to return it to neutral! This is due to the springs not always placing the yoke back to it centered point.
I do NOT recommend this yoke to any REAL pilots; it will frustrate you to no end. It is however acceptable for simple gamers and children for a first Flight Yoke.
I'm purchasing Saitek's Throttle Quadrants and looking forward to buying Saitek's Flight yoke as well.
CH Flight Yoke 2008-05-30
Great product. Easy to install and easy to operate. Best yoke system I have ever used.
Controlling Reality 2008-05-18
My review of this product is using X-Plane Version 9. In a previous review of CH Products Rudder Pedals, I spoke of my transition from keyboard control of flight simulators along my particular path. The next best thing to a control wheel is a joystick with twisting action. Having said that, there is still no real comparison to the CH Control Yoke, except maybe a real airplane control yoke.
I recently upgraded from an adapted joystick with few functioning inputs to the CH Products Control Yoke. What I was missing could add ten things to a long list of wishes.
It surprised me to feel and see the differences that this great device brought to my simulated flying. The Yoke has both centering aileron (roll) and elevator (pitch) inputs plus, 3-levers and 2-rocker switches on the main console. On the left hand grip there are 3-buttons and 1-rocker switch and on the right side there is a 8-way hat switch, 1-button. and 1-rocker switch.
I'm a licensed pilot, currently flying a Cessna 172. Adding a Control Yoke to my Flight Simulator adventures lets me realize how much I enjoy flying, whether be it for real or virtually real. The movement of the control wheel is smooth and right on. Having similar controls on the console lets me practice my movements in the real cockpit.
How nice it is to control reality flying with the Control Yoke!!
