Title: Please Help...Mag Stick Plus Config
Post by: cornishHen on February 28, 2007, 09:26:24 pm

I am finishing assembly of my cab, and I ran into a bit of a problem.. The plastic acuator that touches the switches in the joystick pops down below the switches.. I am thinking I may have put the plastic piece that holds the BIG spring on the top of the joystick upside down. Can someone confirm the correct configuration A or B ?

Maybe this will help you tell if you have it together wrong.

The review on Retroblast where they take the stick completely apart and show how it goes back together is borderline worthless? What to hell are you looking for then?

You should post a link in the project announcement forum when you're ready.
