CH Products Potentiometers

[nrshida]

Does anyone know (without me having to take them apart) if CH Products uses a standard potentiometer for it's primary axis. So would a throttle pot replace a rudder brake pot in this case?

[Greebo]

I have taken the CH stick, rudder and throttle all apart at some point over the years for maintenance and found them to all use a single type of potentiometer. Having said that I have never had to replace a brake pot on the pedals but I'd be very surprised if these were different to the rest.

Thank you Greebo, that's enough for me to proceed without feeling it's a total waste of time. Will report back after disassembly

Just cleaned up the pots in my CH Fighterstick.

I need this

That stuff will work. If you're looking for a substitute just make sure it says "safe for plastics" before you spray it, otherwise it may melt stuff with the solvents. I once destroyed a really nice G15 keyboard with stuff that wasn't! Doh! One of those painful mistakes you only make once!

I haven't had to look for the CH pots in a long while after going to VKB, MFG and Virpil stuff but I'm pretty sure you can get the exact parts from Digi-key.

Digi-Key carries the replacement potentiometers. I have had to replace mine.

I have a full set of old CH gear circa 2012 purchases that you can have to take apart for learning or use for spares

I measured the foot-brake pots on the CH rudder pedals. Unfortunately they don't seem to be the same approximately measuring 28Ω whereas the throttle pot read 100Ω. However the pots have a pretty well open slot on one side and a bloody good dose of contact cleaner seems to have done the trick. Fully working again

You'll need those soon when you come back Mr. Dolby!

They were fully replaced with a fresh set in November

Well while cleaning the Pops, and snugging up the connectors. I snapped the y axis pot just below the wire tabs. Ordered 10 replacements from Digikey, REPPOT604 part is a listed replacement. Thought pots where in need of cleaning, when I'd try calibrating axis in CH manager the raw data was off by -30 from a centered data read of 128. Wondering now if its not the gimbals, it is a 2008 model. I copied a potentionmeter parts list off SIM Hq thread.

Potentionmeters arrived, and installed on USB FighterStick. Part I posted was correct replacement (REPPOT604). Pedals are next.

Thank you sir, that's very helpful
