What is a good controller for Crimson Skies?

While rooting around in the garage, I discovered my old Crimson Skies box and remembered how much fun it was. Just reading through the "Air Action Weekly" was a rush. I installed it onto my Win8x64 system with no trouble and it comes right up (though I did download and install the 1.02 patch.) kind of surprising...I didn't even have to try compatibility modes.
The video is a bit garbled, low-rez and unreadable menus - I see that some kind soul has created a video patch for it, so I am downloading it now.
My question - it runs fine but with just a mouse I am essentially unable to fly my plane...all I do is loop uncontrollably around, spinning in various directions as I overcorrect.
I thought I might pick up a flight-sim controller, but I wasn't sure of:
1) what controller might work with old Crimson Skies
2) what doesn't cost much - I'm not a dedicated flight-sim guy, just looking for some old nostalgia
any recommendations?
