i tried 18-22 awg wire to remove it, i tried plastic wire wraps,i even tried to brutally pry the damn thing off,i destroyed the little black ring that covers the hole and i knocked off both yellow little indicators on the bottom of the stick. th eonly solution i can think of is A: cut the control panel to pieces... B drill two .065" holes in each side of the stick and push in the legs with toothpicks there and use suction to remove the cap. |

did you try a curved coat hanger (rotate it in?) or is it even smaller then that? |

Did you try loosening te joystick from the underside of the control panel to give you some extra room? RS |

!!!;D ITS FREE!! ;D!!! I sacrificed the little black dust cover with a pair of cutters to get some more real estate under the knob.then I dremmeled the hole a little to get the angle i needed, but not so much that a new dust cover wouldnt hide it though.. I then used two prebent paper clips as i saw in another ls30 thread. its a little beaten as i desribed above from its ordeal, or should i say my temper, but at least its off.. These things should DEFINETLY come with a warning!!! :P I had NO room under this thing,I mount my sticks very close to the panel so I can use the edge of my hand for support. good idea for standard sticks BAD IDEA for LS30's ;D the irony of it all is im in another thread posting up cad files for the removal tool :o CRUEL IRONY |

That IS irony at it's finest. How's the knob and tool fabrication going, btw? |
