I ordered two of these and they work great BUT the joysticks keeps coming off on BOTH. Any quick and easy solutions?

super glue comes in very handy for that. just apply a dab into the plastic part of the joystick and slip it back onto the metal part of the joystick. should hold just fine.

I have had the same issue. Try either using a dab of superglue on the metal part where the joystick slides on, or for a less intrusive method, use a small piece of paper towel between the metal part and the joystick. Hopefully, part of the paper towel will get wedged between the metal stick and the inside of the joystick, strengthening the bond. Hope this helps.

I have not encountered this problem before, but, if you enter the joystick calibration program from inside the Gold X program, you should be able to determine if the stick is operating properly by watching the response on the calibration screen. I do recall that years ago I had some issues with Microsoft CFS2 with loss of control of aircraft in the program, but, that was due to program errors and settings. If Gold X has difficulty settings, you might check those and see if they are set properly. Good luck.

A mouse works just fine. I have never used a "joystick" so I don't know if it would work or not.

Yes, I have a X52 that the joystick went bad with and so I bought a CH Fighterstick and it works fine. The only issue is that without the X52 joystick, you obviously can't clutch and change modes with the X52 throttle. Incidentally I like the CH stick a lot better; it's more precise and a lot less jittery than the X52 stick.

I purchased two and gave one as a gift. I think the problem is in the switch. I found that you have to push down rather hard as you switch it on.

Thank you for contacting us. Before you play, please read instruction carefully if you are first time user. When you push the joystick for throttle, please do it slowly. Please don't push too hard. And if possible please play outside and without strong wind. Thank you for asking Cece

That's the same problem I have had, Kevin, and I don't know a solution to it. I believe there is an issue with the control electronics.

Sorry I just play around with mine until it comes off. I have the same problem

My son and I each have one. We have had no problems with either of them. If you're having trouble with yours, I suggest you contact the manufacturer.

I understand your frustration with this toy, as we have experienced the same issues... I immediately changed the batteries, which helped, but overall it's just a very cheaply made toy. It still works, several months later, but only when stroked lightly with the stick not by hand. I was expecting more, but in the end, my 3 year old likes it well enough the way it is, so we kept it. She actually played with it just today! Hope this helps.

Leave the jumper where it was when you received it. Works for me, have several and suggestion get the one that has digital display. have both. one is in a trax mill (same as yours,version) other is in my conputerised flame cutter. I also found out that having a 3 1/2 floppy and the emulator together doesn't work .

I believe you can fix that by adjusting the horizontal trim on the right stick, could be the left though...been a little while since I've flown it. Good luck.

No, I ordered this for my joystick and I thought it was the one for mine based on the information provided by the seller. However, this will only work with one joystick, the one it says it is for, and only a certain model number. Do not buy this, search for another because if you buy it you will just waste your money like I did. Good luck.

This ssounds like a manufacturing defect. If it is still under warranty, turn it in to the company. I have never experienced that with aeither of the sticks I have owned.

I am sorry I am not familiar with such joystick, however the mouse pads area is not sturdy at all, in fact one of mine broke after a few months and they made me pay for a replacement.

I have two and find them a handful,my feeling is the "Trim" adjuster on the controller is defective.Being new I would ask Amazon for a replacement.
