X-52 Pro Sticky Joystick

[bob charles]

Hi,

 

I'm surprised no one else has "complained" about the sticky nature of the X-52 Pro's joystick. Where the spring-loaded beveled piece comes in contact with the plastic base it tends to stick, making flight a bit jumpy. I've tried a little a Pam cooking oil on it but that only lasts a few minutes. Sometimes you need very fine control... like when you're landing... and the stick grabs and jerks.

 

Maybe I'm just picky since I also have a modded Cougar and it's so smooth. I need to get my Cougar fixed but in the meanwhile I'll be using the X-52.

 

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to make the X-52 operate more smoothly?

 

Perhaps I just have a faulty one... or one with an extra strong spring in it.

 

Bob.
