CH Control Manager, a must?

Anyone know of way to turn off the trim wheels on the fighterstick? Those things are never quite centred it seems. Or am I missing something?

When I dismantle a CH stick, I place a section of duct tape on between the wheel and the housing so that it has a LOT more friction.  Then I duct tape over the wheels from the outside, after very carefully centering them.  If your stick is still under warranty, I'd just place the tape over them from the outside.  You can't "turn them off" because they are a mechanical component that actually reposition the potentiometers.

use a little bit of whiteout and mark the center detent on the trim dials and then another center mark on the stick base top housing next to the dials.  This way you'll have a center reference point to set the dials at without having to opening and potentially voiding the warranty.
