Try JB Qwikweld. Sets in a few minutes. You can use fiberglass matting with the epoxy for super reinforcement.
How did it break? Hehe, don't tell me you're one of those super competitive types that slams or throws their stuff after losing a dogfight ;) .

Guess it didn't occur to alot of people that trippling the weight of the controller could have some adverse effects.  That must have landed just right (right on the handle).

Have you talked to Thrustmaster about it yet?

bummer.



neeener neener neener. I've drop kicked my CH gear... never had any of it break... even after 70 years of abuse. Granpa thought it was expensive, I figure quality is timeless...  and expect to pass it on to my grandson when i pass on...

well, I've sent them an email, let's see what happens. Some people on their BB are really bithing about them being un-responsive.

The throtlle was sitting on a couch. I accidentally pushed it on the floor and as you said. It landed right on a tip of the handle.


Still, crappy design. The plastic inside of the handle has a large, rectangular opening to feed the ribbon cable through. A very bad design.

Well, I've never dropped kicked my CH Combatstick, but it has certainly had its share of abuse.  The only thing I've had to replace are the little metal disks inside the base that record the movement of the stick - CH sent me a couple of replacements for free.  I just unscrewed the bottom, slipped out the disk, inserted the new ones, screwed it back together, and continued to run my Air Warrior operations (yes, its that old).
