T6EXA Stick Fell Out.
While flying indoor foamies, an airplane buzzed by my head and struck my T6EXA antenna with enough force to knock it out of my hands and it fell to the astro-turf covered floor below. Somehow, the right (elevator/aileron) stick came completely out of the gimbal and was laying on the floor beside the transmitter. I tried to put it back in but it will only go so far. I could get it in far enough to continue flying but it is not all the way in the gimbal judging from how far in the left (rudder/throttle) stick is in the gimbal. When I put the stick in the gimbal as far as it will go, it is still loose enough to fall back out. Although I don't mind flying foamies with the transmitter in this condition, I would never fly one of my giant scale airplanes this way.
Is there a trick to pressing the stick back into the gimbal (maybe warming up the plastic gimbal) or do I need to send the transmitter in for repair?
