Id like to keep this beast working for a longer time

Could be a loose connector. Only one way to find out - open it up.
There are manuals for that on the Internet.

Hi all,

I'm trying to fix up my poor neglected ffb2 stick, and I think the twist spring is broken on one side. The spring is straighter and seems slightly shorter on one side. I'm fairly sure it's engaged in the stick properly but the spring return only works in one direction.

Anyone out there have a spare, or know where I might track one down? I thought if someone had 'locked' their rudder twist they might still have the spring...

Any suggestions welcome!

Cheers.
