I just performed this mod on my yoke and all I can say is AMAZING! Works really well. I also added some silicone lube to some of the frictions points while I was in there. Bit of difficulty trying to open the yoke. One of my clamp bolts was stripped and had to do a little bit of repair to the post that holds the clamp nut. J-B weld quick dry did the trick. As a private pilot, I was trying to improve the feel and this worked. Thanks so much,
Wouldn't it be possible to loop the rubber bands onto the horns and avoid the banjo noise if you looped one across the front and the horns other across the rear of the horns? Would this cause a problem with symmetrical response?
i was wondering, why don't you just take off the springs and don't putt the rubber bands on? does it hurt the yoke if you don't have any tension? please answer. thanks
Nice video! I have the saitek yoke for fsx. I fly planes in real life, and obviously the yoke doesn't have springs. Is there a way to make it like that in FSX on the Saitek yoke?
Great idea. One small thought...if you added another looped zip tie in between the rubber band and current zip tie, it would take out the twist in the rubber band, and prevent any possible abrasion that shortens the band's life.
great mod, as are all the stuff youve put out previously. hey just curious... do you think anyone will ever make a force feedback yoke? there have been many joysticks, but it seems there could be a market for such a yoke? hmm maybe it doesnt interest others, but i like the effect, but most of the aircraft i sim with are GA type so id find a yoke with a little feedback to be a cool option, but ive not seen any manufactures going for it. hmmm

do real airplanes have yoke tension? is it safe? or does it hurt to remove the springs from my fs yoke? thanks

@handcuff308 Give it a try. It won't hurt anything.

@handcuff308 What kind of question is that, if you don't have the spring or rubber band, it won't self senter your movement will be on one side
