CH Products Yoke Modification

The CH Products Flight Sim Yoke is a great addition to your home flight simulator, but we can improve it with this simple modification. In this video, we show how to improve the self-centering mechanism to prevent over-controlling the airplane during landing, or whenever subtle control inputs are necessary.

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?

@BFKate I don't know. Try it.

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

[rogerdodgeraviation]

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

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,

Excellent video, I prove it myself in my yoke and works incredibly well. Thanks for the video buddy :)

@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

I jsut cracked mine open. Hope it goes well

[handcuff308]

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