stick problems
« on: June 21, 2012, 08:53:28 PM »
last night my stick decided to stop working right, so today i pop off the cover, and i see 2 small wires broken, its pretty close to the silicon going into the handle, is there any easy/good way to fix them?

If the stick isn't under warranty, how handy are you with a solder gun?

the only problem is, i dont have fingernails, but i just used the gun to melt it a bit and so far it seems to work fine, not only can i fly, but i got my rudder back for the first time in months, so thanks everyone
