Reattach the two halves of the control panel around the joystick shaft and you're good to go. Use lots of glue. --- End quote --- LOL ! Naughty naughty ! |

I noticed when I was popping off my e-clips that it was really quite snug and tight a fit. I was worried that I was going to break the clip and/or joystick. But don't worry - the clips are surprisingly tough. |

Actually, I really liked PDB's response ... it was more original than the traditional "do a search", and obvious enough not to do any harm. :cheers: FWIW, I always at least try to use needlenose pliers to remove e-clips ... otherwise they end up shooting off and ending up in heating vents and other places that make them a challenge to find and remove. |

If nothing else, pop the clip off in a bag or a shoe box. They do go flying when they get the chance. |

Not many people realize that they were once a newbie and they should treat others with the same respect. We welcome newbies and the majority of us are all happy to help. --- End quote --- :laugh2: Why wouldn't he ignore it? It was clearly a harmless joke as the first reply actually did answer the question (at least one of the two possible answers). Plus, I'm betting the joystick will come with an exploded diagram, and its quite obvious once you look at a joystick how the shaft comes apart. Give me a break with the "majority of us" baloney. I swear everyone on this forum has gotten so sensitive over the past year or so. |
