While I was out in Redmond, Tim showed Drew and I the new bearings for the control sticks.  Two bearings and a small spacer replace the plastic sleeves.  Drew has already installed his and he's amazed how smooth the controls are, and with no play.

 

You need to have some simple machining done to the hole through the sticks to accommodate the bearings, but it's an inexpensive and effective upgrade.

 

No I don't get a commission!

 

I don't have the part numbers, can't find my invoice.  The parts cost around $30.

P. S. They have a bunch of small improvements completed and in the works.  I wish there was a way to notify builders when they become available.
