Attack 3 throttle issue

[brauner1 1]

I bought the product a few years ago, but always had an issue regarding the throttle axis.

Throttle sensitivity is adequate along a given direction. However, as soon as small outputs in the opposite direction are desired, granularity drops significantly. When, for example, the throttle is advanced just up to 50%, pulling it slightly back to the position where it used to register 47 (just prior of reaching 50) doesnt yield any response. It is as if a deadzone is automatically set, stretching about 10% of hardware movement range. The first lower position to be registered would be around 40. The throttle position can simply be jiggled back and forth for a relatively wide range, before any change is registered.

After inspection the gearing system seems to work properly. It seems that the blue potentiometer could be unresponsive.
