 The distinguishing feature of the X52 is the large backlit blue (or green, on an x52 pro) LCD display on the throttle, which displays the mode it is configured, the name of the button being depressed and a chronograph function.The Multi-Function Display (MFD) screen can be used to check programmed command names and use the clock and stopwatch function for timing the legs of your flight plan.The joystick/throttle combination includes a number of controls, including trim wheels, a thumb operated slider, a mouse control and three eight-way hat switches, and a button under a flip-guard labeled "Safe".
