I wanna be flying spaceships but I had to tear down my flight stick to troubleshoot an issue with the rudder axis.

Maybe tomorrow

Okay that is a successful surgery! The Rudder pot was acting crazy even with a 50% dead zone looked like Jim’s shootin’ hand.

I’d hoped to get it apart, but the assembly was pretty complex, so instead I used a 23g hrt needle to precisely inject some IPA under the pot cover. Twisted it to share love, then let it rest before reassembly.

Now it’s lookin like Jim’s other hand: steady as a rock.

@AbuhRae While you're in there grease the bits that need to be slippery and degrease the bits that need to be clean. You don't want engine trouble in the middle of the black.
