DonLduk Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Hello, I was adding the AB detent to my new TMWH and the allen-screws had a washer on each one of them. These fell into the throttle lever holes and were "ringing" inside the throttle casing, then I tried to shake them out but didn't manage to, eventually they stopped clinging ( I assume they got stuck somewhere inside). Do you think I should open the throttle case and look from them or should I let it go? Im worried it may cause damage to cables and switches inside. Cheers!!:doh::doh::doh:
cichlidfan Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I would open it up. I would figure the chance is too great for one of them to end up in a bad place and tanking the throttle. I don't recall exactly what it looks like in there (been a while since I have seen pics) and how likely that would be to happen but I would let pessimism and paranoia be my guides due in part to the cost of the thing. :) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Deadman Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 It is not worth the possible damage to the throttle or the lack of sleep open it find them and out them where they go and all will be right. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
DonLduk Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Hi thanks for your indicates. I decided to unscrew the base plate. One washer came out immediatly, the other one didn't so I looked around the PCB boards and loosened the screws on the bigger one. Finally the 2nd washer came out it was stuck between the PCB and some cables, wow that is dangerous. cheers!
