About a month ago the China hat started sticking in the forward position and I would have to pull it back manually. I sent an email and short video to TM support. They suggested it might be dirt in the switch and told me to put some lube in the switch and try it for a few weeks. I finally did that the other day but it didn't help and the switch has gotten worse over the last couple of weeks. I let support know it didn't work and they are sending me a complete switch assembly for the right throttle. Here is a picture of the part.

Sorry to hear about that, it's the first time I've heard of this problem. Do tell us how the new part works out, and how hard/easy it is to install.

I will let you know how it goes. Having looked at the picture and the throttle it looks pretty easy. 3 screws on one side and 1 screw on the other, and 3 connectors on the PCB. There are at least 2 or 3 other people on the DCS forums that have had the same issue.

Part was shipped on 4/13 and I received it today. Not bad considering it came from France. Already had the bad one removed and the connectors marked (2 are the same size, 1 is larger). The wires on the larger connector are very short and it just barely protrudes from the throttle. It took less then 2 minutes to connect the 3 and put the screws back in. Tested all the switches and everything works.

Oh man, every time I read something like this I go "Oh God, let my Warthog be without any of these problems" Nice to see they care about costumers! Although I'm doomed 'cos I bought the thing overseas and there's no TM in Argentina!
