Jarhead0331 Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 I have had my Virpil Mongoose T-50CM3 for about two years. It is connected to a back-up computer that I do not use often. The throttle is in like new condition and only slightly used. I was using it tonight briefly and noticed that I was unable to release the throttle locking pin. The magnetic button seems to have detached and is loose. The button is still inside of the track, but it is loose and it moves from side to side, without sliding the pin so the axis throttles are stuck together in the locked position. I'm pretty disappointed by this. I have had the Trustmaster Warthog for close to an decade and have not had any problems like this. I also have many winwing products and have not had quality issues. For a $450 throttle, I would not expect a problem like this. The button that controls the locking pin feels cheap. Do you guys know of any way to fix this? Is there some way to unlock the pin other than with the button which is clearly broken, at least temporarily? Any advice or recommendations appreciated. I’ve opened a support ticket with Virpil.
Guest Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 Never had any issues with locking pin in my CM3 throttle which is like 3 years old. It definitely does not feel "cheap" for me. Advice? Contact virpil support. More than sure they'll get it sorted out.

But thank you for your otherwise very helpful reply.
