FEL Controller Replacement

[Dewave]

Being a PC geek I tend to call it a joystick, anyway whatever ya call it. It broke. It should not have... after looking at it closely I determined it was installed improperly at the factory. It should have lasted mucho longer then it did.

So I contacted Carver Equipment.com and they sent me these new parts. It took 5 days and cost me nadda... warranty is kewl. However, I would like to point out that Terry at Carver was a great help!

So here I go to replace it, first the cover

Now the hard cover

This is a shot of the case and metal cover off

Loosen the cable nuts

 

[Dewave]

Now tighten the cables so that they protrude upward

 

[Dewave]

Once they are elevated the pivot pin can come out and that will free up the controller handle

comparison... as you can see it's broke... however a closer inspection reveals that it was forced on during installation... maybe a disgruntled employee, lol

If it were up to me it would look the BH pivot pins... here's a look of what they look like... metal not plastic
