Raven Morpheus Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Hello I've got a Saitek X45 lying around doing nothing and I'm considering converting at least the joystick to a longer handled more cyclic type of stick. I might use the throttle as a collective also but it's a little iffy due to what seems like a faulty connection in the joystick base (if I press down on the throttle connection it turns the whole controller off!). Anyhow I'm wondering how to do the wiring because I would need to pull the extended handles apart for storage... So, is there any way of cutting the original wires so that I can use connectors to attach/detach extended wires for easy storage of the extended poles? TIA EDIT - nevermind. I have thought of a way to do it. Use 3x 3 pin PC fan extension cables. Solder each wire from the stick of the X45 (there appears to be 9 of them) to each wire of the 3 3pin fan cables and voila I can take the wiring apart, in theory... Not sure I want to do it though, it seems a bit tedious and fiddly stripping and soldering those tiny thin wires in the X45. Edited July 20, 2014 by Raven Morpheus
