Futaba 6EXA faulty stick !!
Just as I'm wanting to fly even more, my TX throttle stick has developed a fault. It has not been dropped. I've used it for testing this afternoon and it was fine. However, now, the stick will only push about half way up before it meets resistance. The other axis is as smooth as silk. Any ideas please ?
Thanks

Thanks but there is nothing obviously wrong with it. Send it back - for TWO weeks ???????
I need a self fix. Maybe someone has seen this before ?

Ok, I've found out that this is something to do with a pin that slips out of place. Does anyone know where this pin is ?

The EXA series, 6EXA and 4EXA, have a poor sticks potentiometers. They are very weak and low quality. I fix a lot of then in my radio service in Brazil.
