Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. announced that the Saitek X-55 RHINO H.O.T.A.S. designed and developed to give flight simulation enthusiasts the a realistic flight experience at an affordable price, is expected to ship to consumers in early 2014.
The X-55 RHINO is styled after modern fighter jet control systems and was built from the ground up to deliver a multitude of customizable options. An adjustable stick spring system allows pilots to alter the force required to move the stick and four springs of varying resistance are included to provide a total of five different options.
