RE: tornado xl
what it is is that the controller was droped the steering wheel of the remote fell off. it almost looked like there was a screw that held the steering wheel on. i took the remote apart and removed the board and what i found was on the little plastic peice that the shaft rides on goes further than it should and snaps forward so know the steering stays, you have to somewhat force the steering wheel back so it will retract to center. and also the knobs to set the trim would not come off so i had to break them off to get in there which it also seems like that controller was built not to come apart. so if anyone has any used controllers laying around or i can get a new one for short money would love to buy another one

RE: tornado xl
i did take my transmitter case apart and did not break anything. As for me it looks like u have really no technical sense. All trims etc are connected with detachable plugs to board so if u care to take them apart properly they will not be broken. As for your question there should be a spring inside that will force wheel to centre. Maybe some plastic know inside got broken and that's why it doesnt centre itself

RE: tornado xl
well that is what i said inside my last post is that the plastic is "broken" inside the controller and the buttons would not come off even the guy at the hobby shop couldnt get it off and he did not want to break it so me as the owner broke them off. and not for nothing but i did take offense to u saying that i have no technical sense.
