Weird AV8R Incident
So, I was playing one of the Korsun Pocket single missions last night when something strange happened. I have a crappy SD TV, so I sit right in front of it with my AV8R on a little table. As I was flying along I noticed a speck of dirt on the TV. I grabbed a kleenex and went to wipe it off. I still had my other hand on the stick. All of a sudden, ZAP! A frikkin giant spark shot out of the stick & hit me in the middle finger! The finger went numb for like 2-3 minutes. What's weirder is my La-5 immediately started rolling to the left like I had the stick hard over. The buttons still responded, but the stick wouldn't, so I spun into the ground. I respawned and the same thing happened again. After unplugging the stick and plugging it back in everything went back to normal. So anyways, there is apparently an improperly insulated wire inside the AV8R stick. Beware!
