Is there any way to remove the play/wiggle in my HOTAS joystick?

There seems to be about a half inch of play in all directions, and it can make things difficult,

is this normal? i

s there an adjustment I am missing ?

HOTAS typically refers to CH products, which if i recall correctly you are absolutely thrilled with Cita

HOTAS doesn't typically refer to anything. Hands on throttle and stick setups could be a multitude of brands.

my eyes are going bad looking at that pic......

looks like maybe a thrustmaster cougar? maybe?........ ( don't recall seeing one black.....am thinkin' they was dark grey for some reason.......)

then again.........maybe a CH fighterstick FX ( force feedback ) am leaning more to my 1st thought though.......

any rate it should be repairable I would think......

There's nothing wrong with your stick.

Admit it!

You just wanted to show off that obscene photo.

p.s. just curious...what's that black thing with the flourescent yellow/green buttons/switches on it at lower left?

That is the cougar thrustmaster and you can get replacment parts for it too fix anything that may be wrong with it.

Would you be so kind to post a few more pics of your sim pit from diff angles for me it looks good,also if you dont mind maybe you could post the build specs.

TY

I do not mean to show off the pic , i was at work all day today, and those pics are all I had for a reference.

The little thing with green eyes, is a space alien.

It controles the volume and bass of the digital surround sound.

If this guys has a wife and family, then he has it made

edit: When you mean wiggle/play, have you tried changing the deadband ?

If I built something like that, my wife would kill me ...then bury me in it.

Many Cougar owners have reported drift and nose bounce. It's due to crappy potentiometers. Check out the Cougar forum at http://www.frugalsworld.com

good luck
