Fixing Saitek Cessna Flight Yoke Sticking Pitch/Elevator
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2016
- This video shows what I did to make the pitch smoother on my Saitek Cessna flight yoke. Pitch/elevator is in/out on the yoke, and up/down motion of the plane.
This fix doesn't involve making any modifications to the yoke hardware. However, just taking the cover off probably voids your warranty, so proceed at your own risk!

Worked perfectly ... I'd like to point out it's not just the shaft, I found on mine that in the mid section there are pitch gears that slide back and forth with the shaft forward and backward movement. So I found the plastic pieces were riding on the guides a causing friction / grinding there as well. Mine didn't have a whole lot of grease to work with inside but enough to get it done. On the previous parts I just mentioned I took an eye dropper to apply a small amount of extra virgin olive oil alone the plastic rails that support the gear mechanism for the shaft. All seems good, if I run into problems I'll re-post any issues. I purchased a used unit for like 80 bucks as I didn't want to spend 500 dollars on a decent one atm. But ya .. the pitch on this unit is complete ass and I had stopped playing MSFS. But after doing what you showed here it's completely usable now. Thanks for taking the time to show this. Back to flying and landing without pitching to the moon cause of "sticking" as you apply more force and then it pitches up uncontrollably.
There's a white plastic ring on the yoke which acts as a thrust bearing. Problem is that the ring is made to too tight tolerances, which makes it bind at certain points on the shaft. The shaft is a pipe which means it will never be perfectly circular and the same diameter over its own length like a machined part.
This design flaw is also still present on the current Pro Flight Yoke aside from the "Saitek Sticky Grease" problem which is an issue on all Saitek products.
perfect .... same issue .. will give this a try .. thanks
Your idea about re-distributing the grease they already put on it is excellent - use what they used. You may not have voided the warranty unless they have a little sticky tape that has to be poked through. (WD-40 is not so much a lubricant as a penetrant, so, don't use it as another commenter asked. WD-40 would likely dissolve the plastic and/or have some other highly undesirable effect.)
Your approaches need improvement - they are too shallow and power loss would likely put you into that road if not into the trees very short. Didn't your CFI teach you that? Always be high in your approach with little or no flaps and add flaps when you're sure you can make it. Always pick a touchdown point and make a full-stall landing at that point. Practice until you are consistent then you can be sure of accuracy to hit a short-field when you need to.
And, do you practice engine-out scenarios? Kill the power and get the speed stabilized at best glide as soon as possible. The hardest are when you are way too high and you need a 360 to lose altitude and judging the turn can be difficult if not treacherous. Practice, practice, practice but, remember: practice does not make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect. Amateurs practice until they think they can do it right then stop, but, professionals practice until they can't do it wrong.
I have recently discovered the value of home simulators to keep my mind right since the real thing is just a dream right now - the bug can get ya...
hi. you probably won’t see this, but i just wanted to know what the deadzone is like on this particular yoke?
Nice video! Where did you buy that yoke?
the problem i see is that the yoke maker don't think like real thing, when you pull back the yoke in real thing there is pressure that why you use the tumb wheel trim to relileft that back pressure when you landing but sadly we can have this yet in simulation flight yokes :(
There's a few force feedback yokes on the market but they're still pretty expensive.
That's immersion braking greasing, real Cessna make a lot of noises ;) Best mod for that: Volume up your speakers.
What if I spray some WD-40 on the shaft?
Thank you!
I also made the larger mod shown in this video, later: ruclips.net/video/1Hc7RkHgMA8/видео.html
The video is in French, which I don't speak, but all the shots are clear so you can see what he's doing even if you can't understand the commentary. It's definitely better after that mod, but still not satisfactory. Next I'm going to work on a way to eliminate as much as possible the center detent.
It would help to realize your camera angle. Or polish up your editing skills.
