They used glue to attach the velcro to the leather cover. In my
case, their glue couldn't stand up to the ramp temps during a PHX
summer, so I had to re-glue them with a high-temp epoxy. They really
should sew the velcro on. Now that they're on, I really like the
covers (very soft lambskin), but I don't think I'd pay $120/yoke for
them. I got them as a present.


$120 per YOKE? That's insane.

Especially when you see that they don't cover the whole yoke, but just where
your hands rest. I like the way they did the Aerostar yokes, where they're
covered completely in leather.

Oh well, I've got lots of leather to play with. I just wish I had a yoke to
take home and work on!
