Yes, right under the plate at the bottom of the spring. If you push the stick forward ,or to one side you will see the rubber boot under the spring tension plate. Just slide the Q-tip with the grease under it to get to the ball.

Quick question for you CH users. Are either of the USB sticks twist sticks or is the rudder dealt with another way? Lookin at CH but need something all-in-one to take on the road. Current otr stick is the piece-o-crap Logicrap 2.4 and the size is right. Is the CH comparable in size or is it a behemoth?
Thanks

a usb port can handel a lot more data than the old game ports could So i should imagine that they would be all in 1

The CH stuff is really quite a big desktop solution. For on the road Saitek do a cute fold up option.

Get some rechargables...4 x the "life" of alkiline and you can charge em about 1000 times...best $30 you'll spend.

Or, the Thrustmaster Afterburner II can be disassembled into 2 pieces before being packed away.

I looked at that but it has no twist for rudder control, otherwise would be perfect, cheap too. Thanks though.

saitek is cheapest. And now im gonna go find you next cheaqpest moddels,
btw the saitek st50 has a throttle but only 2 fire buttons.
rrp ($10)

The logitech attack 3 joy stic has 11 programable buttons. left/right handed. precise throttle (located joy stic base central) its is also very stable and copact. retails at £19.99 here in uk... so In curent economic times should cost around $10-15
