skellum Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, Finally received my Virpil flight stick and Throttle today after 4 months ,trying to attach the stick to the base I'm pretty wary due to one of the pins being crooked,I straightened the pin (fingers crossed),now I'm loathe to connect in case I damage.Reading previously on this website someone said you could pull the connector part way out of the flight stick,my question is how much can I pull out without damage to the wiring. TIA :helpsmilie:
Karon Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I don't remember, I haven't used the grip in a while. It should be a couple cm at least.

TIA :helpsmilie: That's correct, when I had a similar problem having bent a pin a bit while trying to attach various TM/Virpil/VKB sticks on various bases, tech support at Virpil showed me how one can pull the plug on the base of the Mongoose stick out about a couple CM or so, even a bit more, in order to facilitate plugging it accurately into the base of...whatever base. Then once the plugs are connected gently line up the stick to its now extended plug and wiring back together, and then spin the outer connecting hub/whatever you want to call it.

KoN Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I had same issue its not like the warthog you can pull the three pin connector out any inch or so base of the joystick turn it to line up on female base and insert . I found out the hard way . There is a YouTube out one or was showing people what to do . Great stick though or and on cam change heat up the screws they are rock solid to loosen the loctite.
