CH Fighterstick not returning when centered

[plau011]

Hi all,

I have been noticing in DCS when setting up the roll/pitch axis with my CH Fighterstick there is a jiggle in the values. 

So I go to calibrate and click on the Show Raw Data and see the numbers 0  to 255.

I notice a jiggle there. But then also notice if I go up/down/left/right and return to center. When I move left and go back to center the value is 110.

When I go right back to center 120

Then front/back 117 and 128. Even with small inputs it does this.

Is this normal? Is the jiggle normal?  It seems to go between 1 value so probably not too bad.

If not would you recommend new pots?

I occasionally sprayed my pots with electronic contact cleaner to solve problems such as this . Don't forget the trim and throttle pots as well .

I did this on my used fighterstick and it fixed it

When I still had CH gear then the pots weren't that hard/expensive to buy new ones for, nor difficult to change over yourself.

I have the internals of that stick , brand new, never used, I just used the handle and board on my MSFFB2 conversion.......might have some spares which are useful , pots, plastic fittings etc?
