Aviator flight stick mod

[JCofDI]

If you have your stick handy - go ahead and simply set a finger against it and start pushing it very lightly in a direction. Increase the pressure until it moves. If it's setup the way I've seen most AV8R sticks, it will take a good amount of pressure for that bottom, cone-shaped section of the stick to "pop" over the edge and let the stick start moving freely. This is really what the mod fixes in my opinion. Now just pushing the stick lightly will let it move freely in the direction without that hangup on the base itself, allowing for much smoother movements when you need to make only slight adjustments.
