Need a new stick

I like CH sticks and pedals, too.  I've been using them since the early 1990's.  Very sturdy, great feel.

Need a new stick

For those who dont like the light stick inputs on the X-52 , it easy to disassemble the stick an pull the spring out to a higher tension rate, just pull it apart till it stretches the desired amount . I just finished tweaking my X-52 with a lighter rudder spring (from an evo) , then i switched the X and
Y axis Hall sensors, because the X axis sensor was much smoother than the Y. The Y sensor seemed to move in slight steps till about 1/2 way of its range . Ive had 3  X52's and 2 have  had the same issue .

Every stick ive had, ive torn apart to tweak something i didnt like , the only perfect stick for me was the microsoft pp2 . Im still not happy with the X-52 , but im going to try to stick with it for more than a week this time . I
always seem to get mad and switch back to a Tm fox2, which also has its flaws . If the X-52 doesnt hack it this time , ill return it to compusa on the warranty, then offer the new one to an AH'er cheap.


I myself am sick of screwing around trying to find a stick that i like , im about ready to go CH and be done with it . For 10 years ive used a twisty so ive tried to avoid pedals as long as possible .
