Sticky shaft Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

Featured Replies

Hey,after completing the mod to the yoke which takes out a few springs to make the yoke smoother i have found that it does help for large movements and the aileron axis works nicely but, on approach with any plane and making small adjustments, it impossible to make a good landing cos every time it just gets stuck and you have to move it more than necessary. Any ideas?

A quick Google search (hint...) shows DuPont is offering the product in Australiahere (third one down). Contact Geoffrey Ong in Australia for a local distributor.Email: [email protected]Tel: 1 (800) 252-997 or (02) 9923-7307DuPont Australia Contact here.Also in Australia, you can contact Repco Auto Store here.Repco is a DuPont lubricants authorized distributor.Good luck!See Data Sheet: 2. Composition here as to why this product is difficult to ship:90% of the contents is either propane, butane, gasoline or kerosene, all pressurized.If NASA doesn't use it for rocket fuel it's probably because the turbo-pumpblades can't take the heat! :LMAO:Cheers,- jahman.

Most Hobby shops that sell radio controlled cars should have it or something similar.Josh

Well I have actually found an alternative fix. Took out the second spring and now it is so smooth. The only stiffness comes from when you try and tunr and pull or push at the same time. Still may try and find this stuff though.
