For those with the aching wrist (I type all day and flying at night was killing me):

Do that zip tie mod. You can greatly reduce the force required to tip the stick, and adjust that to your liking. Made the dead zone easier to handle as well.

Weaken the rudder spring! This made the biggest difference for me. It took too much force to hold rudder, which really hurt my wrist (carpal tunnel sucks!!). I disassembled the stick, and removed the spring from the mechanism with the analog pot in it. I then held it just enough open for the ends to still hold the pot arm (measure then hold with needle nose pliers) and heated it with a torch to release the tension.

Once reassembled the difference was night and day. I can aim so much easier and smoother, and can play more then 30 min without my wrist starting to hurt. Took less then a half hour from start to finish!
