DaveRindner Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I managed to smooth X-55 stick pitch and roll axis. But I am unable to smooth out stick rudder twist. It sticks, and jerks in the rudder twist axis. The twist would present different and erratic resistance, where constant twist pressure is impossible. As twist pressure is applied, the twist would then jump, then stick. With an slight audible creak and plastic sticking feel. Been trying to smooth it out with vaseline and silicone lubricant gel. No go. Removing the stick from base, still does allow access to twist gimbal. What to do? X-55 forum on SAITEK has no answers. I have poor opinion of this device.
Len62 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Do a search on youtube for x55 rudder twist. There are a couple of videos that address that issue.
DaveRindner Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Thank you. I may consider it. But no way, am I doing what is shown. I have to take apart the electronics, and put them back together. With multiple warnings that electronics are fragile. I wind up braking it.
