Currently using an X-52pro, but the 45 is basically the same thing. The only weakness the stick has, is the connection points of the cord which goes from the stick to throttle. It's very lose it seems. I took back the 45 because of the problem and got a 52, which gave me the same problem. I took THAT back and grabbed another 52. ...Same problem, but after reading about others having the same problem, I resorted to a small amount of black electrical tape and haven't had the problem since. ...and you can't even notice the tape
