Sticky CHProds Yoke ... lubrication? - 11/24/10 07:17 PM
Hi,
I've been fumbling along for some time with a yoke that I knew had difficulty finding it's natural centre in the longitudinal (push-pull) axis. I've been able to manage it ok with FSX, but have recently started flying DCS Black Shark which seems to want a more accurately calibrated pitch axis. Basically there's a whole inch of travel around the centre position where the yoke can rest - that's one enormous null zone I'd have to program!
What does anyone recommend I lubricate the shaft with so it slides in and out better? And no prizes for condom suggestions!!! I've tried WD40 (on the YOKE!!!) but it hasn't really helped.
