Outer box of the Warthog.
The box is labeled for delivery in India, of a product manufactured in China, sold to me by a US company.
The 'Inner Box'
I'm already excited.
Two inner boxes containing the throttle and stick
Inner cartons unpacked
Unpacking the 'Stick' carton
Opening the 'Throttle Carton'
Oouch!
The throttle thermocole-foam packing is damaged
(I repaired the damage with transparent scotch tape before repacking the throttle)
Throttle unpacked and unwrapped.
The build quality is stupendous. Feel of buttons is just 'awesome'.
Driving the Hornet on boat is going to be fun. I know that already.
Hotas Warthog
The 'Stick' unpacked but not unwrapped.
I am going to leave unwrapping to when I install the stick in my pit.
For the time being, my Saitek X-52 Pro will stay on duty.
More images, just so that I remember to repack the stick when I will have to move house, which I inevitably will have to. Soon.
Measuring dimensions for cutouts in the pit panels.
