Ya gotta love the good local dealer !!

The past few days I noticed my joystick giving me some problems ... wanted to stick and was not an easy glide operation.

Called the dealer just about an hour ago ... explained it to him. Told me it was a five minute fix. On top of the control valve (not the stick) are two covers with allen screws holding them on, the little air hole on top allows moisture which causes rust and nasty junk, took them off and sure enough RUSTED and NASTY ... the springs just needed WD-40 and then put some grease on them. Working like new again.

Just wanted to share that ... never know who may search a similar problem.

Hey BlueRiver,

I tell you, the difference between hours of frustration vs a few min's of knowing what to do to fix something is as simple as the right person on the other end of the phone. I've called for computer tech support and sometimes I'll just hang up and call back hoping to get another support person ..

What is the name of the dealer?

Carry on

Davids Trading Yard, Kiowa Oklahoma. No matter what I need they come thru ... if they don't have it, they order it and drop ship to me.
