Title: X52 centre spring
Post by: HakanH on December 23, 2005, 03:22:36 AM

Hi
Im considering getting a X52 but a friend of mine got one a few weeks ago and I didnt like how stiff the spring in the stick was. Yesterday, in a shop, I had a look at another X52 and it was completely different. It had hardly any resistance at all and felt really weird.

My question is, is it possible to adjust the spring or do they differ alot and you have to be lucky to get one that suits you?

No, he has not changed spring and it is the X52 I have been looking at.

can't adjust
I haven't seen an X52 that a 5 year old girl couldn't handle - one of my complaints, they are too soft, then again I do not think the X45 is too hard

your friend must have got a defect

i saw somwhere on il2 forum pictorials how to make saitek springs harder
but imho forget it, its not worth too loose 2 years warranty
after 2 weeks you not gonna feel diference, x52 is really great

I did. I wire tied a couple turns of the spring together.

I have a X52. The first 1 lasted 3 days. I sent it back which cost me $8.50 for a replacement. I got the replacement 3days ago. The sping seems to be lighter than the other.
