CH Products Yoke Axis Drift

Featured Replies

I'm having a small problem with my CH Yoke. Recently, the yoke has started to drift off center when it's left stationary.Looking in the CH control manager, you can see the cross hairs start to drift to the left and up after a while.Recalibrating or yanking the yoke to the axis limits a few times usually solves the problem. But I'd like to know why it does this in the first place.On takeoff it's not uncommon for my aircraft to start banking left as soon as the wheels are up becuase the yoke has drifted off centre. The problem is even more severe using the LDS 767, as the yoke can still control the plane even with the autopilot active. The yoke was drifting and causing a bank angle warning as the autopilot wasn't able to correct the input.Any one else with the same problem or any ideas.

Have the same problem and it's particularly severe with the Level D. Recalibration/axis reassignment with Windows/FSUPIC does not help. Don't use the CH control manager.Looks like the yoke may have a dirty/bad pot or the computer's USB ports may be causing the drift/noise. Will try cleaning the yoke pots as a next step.Jim Harnes

I've been having the same problem since last night. The yoke stay in the right aileron position (full deflection). I tried installing the control manager and it did not help. Any other ideas of what can be causing this behavior?ThanksEd

Yep, mine too.
