This link has a GREAT picture. You can see that the guy wrapped his stick in tennis tape, and then ziptied 2 sections of the spring on opposite sides. I did this as well and it helped a TON. I haven't wrapped the stick yet, though. The ziptie took out about 60% of the resistance. Basically, the stick is factory made to be a little too strong.

I did some more research and saw guys taking down the sensitivity about 11 clicks. Seems like a lot of people, as they move up in difficulty, start to really ratchet down on the settings

I've been flying in sim and realistic and don't like to knock down the sensitivity more then a 4 or 5 notches. You really do lose a lot of control range if you go down very far. Even at 4 or 5 steps down I can end up with the stick all the way back and still not stall.

Sensitivity Settings Question
 

Question: Lets assume for this question that I am in a one on one dogfight with someone who has the exact same plane and flight stick (AV8R-02). If they have their settings on full and I have my settings dialed down lets say 4-6 notches does the player with full settings have a tactical advantage over me?

yes as long as he can controll his aircraft!

i usually put the sensitivity on both down a good 5-6 depending on the aircraft.

i have done the zip tie mod and it helps quite a lot.
