Looking on the black side, where CH, whose advice I've sought, say it's knackered, I may be looking fo a replacement. I've got Saitek Throttle kit and it's excellent. Some of the reviews of their yoke aren't all that reassuring, with complaints about faulty units having phantom switch actions.
How do Saitek yoke users find it; particularly by comparison with the CH yoke?

Another day and another problem! This time it's my CH USB Yoke.For about a week now I've found that leaving the yoke hands free results in the aircraft slowly banking and turning to the right. It happens with a variety of aircraft, so it's not aircraft.cfg induced.I've allocated a couple of keys to aileron trim but they have no effect. I've recalibrated several times. No effect.I've recalibrated, pressing a button to indicate the yoke is centred, whilst actually holding it in the approx position needed for level flight, in the current situation.I'm beginning to suspect the inabillity to trim, or calibrate, out points to the Yoke internals as the culprit.I seem to recall someone on the list trying to open up the yoke, with explosive results! So, the only idea I have is to try squirting electrical cleaner into it.Anyone any ideas please? I've had the yoke since the USB Yoke first came out, so perhaps it's just knackered!Gerry Winskill
