Group,
Has anyone changed thier FS 2 from old to new style control stick? Is thier a kit? How much welding? My old style has more slop than i like and, ive checked everything for tension and wear, just too many connections to be a tight feel. also any info on the rubber joint under the seat, good or bad?
thanks, Wade

Wade, If it works out that you can't get parts or a new assembly to work, you can go to McMaster Carr (www.mcmaster.com) and get bushings to restore your system. Just ream the holes to a press fit for the bushings.

Wade,
My Firefly has the old system and it works well. Duane the Plane used Thin Stainless sheet metal to make his own shims and it has held up well.
Also If you go to the new style, DO NOT mount your turnbuckles directly to your stick as is done in the old system. They will fatigue and eventually fail. The new system uses a short piece of cable in between the stick and the turnbuckle.
