Re: Saitek Cessna Yoke Advice?

Thank you for the support guys. unfortunately the Cessna Internals are different. Detent is harder to remove. The aileron is a nylon gear system. Ive tried rubber bands, and 3 kinds of lubricant. One thing is for sure. never buying a saitek product again. Going to save up for a PFC Beech yoke. :wink:

Saitek Cessna Yoke Advice?

Just bought the saitek Cessna yoke and got it today. But im having problems with it sticking on the pitch axis. I seem to think its the Nylon Bushing they use. Is there any advice or tricks you guys got. Love the Yoke by the way dont want to refund it. :(

Re: TBM 700

Im not surprised haha. For now i will flock on the 850 by carenado. Just thought i would do a showcase. Not to mention Socata parts are expensive. a TORX cowl fastener for these puppys are 200$ a pop! here is a video of an 850 from the factory to Atlantic crossing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v...

Re: Anyone else ever have to land without elevator?

That is awesome. I just started an apprenticeship at a local FBO. Were working on 182T's, and TBM 700's. One thing i learned is those cotter-pins are the first thing you look for. Most aircrafts do not solely rely on nuts. They either have cotter pins or safety wire. If i were you i would get the lo...

Learned quite a bit from this video! Just because your aircraft can perform at high altitudes does not mean it will when the temperature is higher (Nevada, Arizona, ECT.)

Flying realistically finally..

After a long awaited five years.. I was finally able to acquire some ch products gear! I totally forgot how to fly with using the Logitech E3D. Took the Chreokee out for a little coordinated turn practice/landings. Its amazing how close this feels to real flying. The only thing i am missing now is t...

Re: Liking the Cherokee

I too have this problem my friend. I try to focus my eyes on the end of the runway, and use the "Runway Expansion" effect. Also i like to reduce power when about 50 feet descending to the runway. (For ground effect)
