Okay, got her done. 20 min modification and it actually works better than my factory self centering as far as tension is concerned. So, when I'm feeling a bit froggy later, I'll make that leap to replace the rest of the factory springs with tighter ones.<div></div><div>All I did was use one PC fan screw and nut with a mini extension spring cut to correct length.</div><div></div><div>Then I simply made the black centering arm that rests under thepotentiometerwith sheet styrene and viola! No need to beg Horizon Hobby for a new gimble or servicing it!
