Step 4. Locate the gimbal that currently has the
throttle friction engaged (mode 2 is
the right gimbal from the rear).
Unscrew the silver throttle tension
screw until the friction strap is no
longer in contact with the friction
portion of the gimbal. The gimbal
should now move freely. Now on
the opposite gimbal locate the friction
strap you desire (ratcheted or
smooth). Screw in the corresponding
screw until the throttle tension starts
to engage.

Changing Elevator Centering
Note: When changing modes that require the
throttle and elevator to be moved from one
side to the other (mode 1 to mode 2 for
example) it is recommended that that the
elevator and throttle stick be held fully up or
down while the elevator centering screw is
Hilly tightened or loosened. This will reduce
the load on the elevator centering mechanism
making it easier to properly adjust the
centering screw.
Step 5.
disengages the elevator centering
spring. Now locate the elevator
centering screw on the opposite
gimbal and back this screw out until
the elevator centering lever is fully
Note: Cages have been removed for

Step 6. Throttle limiting wedges are
used to limit the maximum throttle travel for
improved ergonomics. When switching
modes that swap elevator and throttle
positions the throttle limiting wedges must
also be moved. Using a Phillips
screwdriver, you will need to unscrew the
two upper circuit boards and move these
upward to access the upper inner screw of
the cages. Now unscrew the eight Phillips
screws that retain the cages and remove
the cages.
Step 7. Most pilots prefer having a throttle with
less stroke as it provides a more
natural feel when giving rudder
commanded (mode 2) at full or low
throttle. When changing throttle
position from right to left it's
necessary to switch the throttle
limiting wedges positions. Using a
Phillips screwdriver remove the
throttle limiting wedges from their
current position and reinstall them on
the opposite gimbal.
