Saitek Soars With Introduction Of New Products For Company's Pro Flight Series

TORRANCE, Calif. (June 26, 2007) - The Saitek Group, (www.saitekusa.com), has further committed to those who love to fly by adding new and advanced products to the company's Pro Flight Series. The company today formally announced the addition of the Pro Flight Yoke and the Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant which "took off" with rave reviews from hard core flight-sim enthusiasts. These newest models are designed to compliment and work in tandem with Saitek's Pro Flight Rudder Pedals that "landed" late last year and became instant best-sellers.

"As hardcore flight sim enthusiasts ourselves, we are especially excited about these new controllers," said Mark Starrett, product marketing manager of Saitek Group. "The level of reality achieved with the new yoke and throttle is truly amazing; they look and feel like they were yanked right out of a Cessna or 747 aircraft. These additions to Saitek's flight controller line push us to a whole new level of dominance in the flight sim world and we're pleased to bring this level of entertainment and reality to flying enthusiasts around the globe."

Pro Flight Yoke

The Pro Flight Yoke System, priced at $149.95, aims to replicate the control system of a real-life airplane. Designed using direct feedback from seasoned pilots, the USB-powered Pro Flight Yoke has an integrated chronometer for in-flight timing and an ultra-stable two-position desk clamp to keep the system sturdy for a steady flying experience. Crafted from precision stainless steel, the yoke's shaft is solid and sturdy - designed to last for thousands of flight cycles. The included throttle controls can be positioned independently for a realistic experience. In addition, the yoke includes an integrated three port USB 2.0 hub and mounting points for additional components - future-proofing this must-have flight controller system.
