July 18, 201114 yr Hi guys, just received my PZ45 throttle quad today and gave it a go, worked just fine with FSX so I'm all happy.BUT, I do have a concern about the detents. So on the quad there's a detent for the 0/idle position. Getting into the detent is easy, but trying to get the lever out of the detent takes a bit of force, and I hear an audible "click" every time it goes out of the detent. Please excuse me if this sounds stupid, but I'm actually afraid the lever will break in half if I keep doing that!! Is there any trick for getting the lever out of the 0 detent without using force? I tried pushing/pulling/applying sideways force on the lever in hopes it would make a smooth transition out of the detent, but that just doesn't happen. I should probably clarify that I don't have to use THAT much force, but definitely more force than necessary for normal operations. The "click" isn't loud, but audible.Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.EDIT: After some further experimentation, it seems if I pull the lever all the way down (into reverse thrust zone), then quickly push it past the idle detent, the transition is smoother and there's much less resistance. However if I slowly push it out of reverse into the detent, the same thing above still happens.
