Sokol1_br Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Perhaps the grind is related to this: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3919832/Get_rid_of_G940_stick_Play_sim#Post3919832 Sokol1 1

upupandaway Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Great! Are there any tutorials on how to disassemble and reassemble the stick correctly? I don´t care about the warranty, but unnecessarily breaking it is not what I´m aiming for. I have had some moderate grinding noise from day one... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!
slowhand Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Had mine open remove screws in handle 1st and remove,Then base screws, then top of base screws..unplug trim pots and thats about it..lol:thumbup: Mine sounds so bad it sits on the side and i use my cougar stick.

upupandaway Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Thx, I got me the proper metal tubes for this job and I guess I´m gonna try it tonight. Aren´t the buttons and springs gonna come off if I separate and remove the stick? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!
slowhand Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Naw, once u open it up you will see there is nut'n to it..:megalol: Just watch the plastic around the trim pots its crap!

upupandaway Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 You were right. Found out that the subtle, but quite audible play around the center of the y-axis is actually caused by something else. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!
slowhand Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah,I think one of the motors maybe the trouble.seems like the motor is turning to fast..i' ll be taking mine down again in a few weeks. when my X55 shows up..

upupandaway Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 It´s a small plastic rod that connects the two moving parts at the base of the handle. I didn´t notice any wear, but there´s still some play between them... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!
