Saitek Flight Yoke: Pitch Axis Modification Guide

Featured Replies

Have my saitek yoke a few days now (this is my first yoke btw). I wont bother adding another review. Ill just say its excellent so far and i highly recommend it. There was one thing that bothered me about it (like most sticks I've had). The tension on the pitch axis springs was too high not allowing for a smooth control action that i prefer. The roll tension is however is just about perfect imo.In the past I've even sometimes completely removed all tension in my sticks when i couldn't mod the tension, however this is an unsatisfactory solution as some tension is desirable for obvious reasons . Thus I modified my yoke to cut the pitch tension by ~50%. I thought others might prefer a "loose" yoke like me so i made a small picture guide. Hope it is of some use to somebody.Heres a link to the image.http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4842/pr...okeguideau3.jpgDotsie
