REFLECTOR: control stick

[Alex Balic]

Hey Joe-

Can you please describe the functions of the relay boards that you have
attached to that stick?  I have an infinity stick also, and used a 3
position switch on the left of the hat to give the hat 3 different
functions- I have a single relay board that does that, I see that you have 3
boards, and I am curious as to what they are controlling...

Hi Lou,

 

I am not flying yet, but when assembling my stick, I had heard discussion
about slop in the stick.  I made a couple of parts that seem to effectively
eliminate the slop.  That said I have to say it is not yet stood the test of
time.  Attached are a couple of pics.  The first of the parts, the second is
one of the parts installed on the stick.  The sliding surfaces are polished
with P-600 and the washer is Teflon.  The Teflon washer should be the only
wear item.

I have developed a bit of slop in my control stick, about 1/4" at the top of
the stick. I have traced the problem to wear between the control stick and
the torque tube. My bird is one of the early models so I expect this is not
a uncommon situation. Short of replacing the stick and/or the tube, is there
a better fix? I had thought about using a tapered pin but with the for and
aft movement of the stick, I don't think that would work. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
