How many turns does it take to seat the joysticks on your Mini's controller?

[Deleted member 103366]

Just over 1 for me which seems very little.

Seems right and is why I got a case that holds the controller with the sticks on.

 

[old man mavic]

me as well dont like the idea of having to keep taking them on and off

Same here

Hmmmm, I wonder why the thread is so shallow (rhetorical question).
If you leave them on it might be an idea to loosen them occasionally, I find that one tends to tighten in use, I guess that is a quirk of how I operate it but it might applyto other people as well.

 

[dirkclod]

Loosen ? I superglued em. I didn’t mean for mine to ever come off.

 

[Deleted member 103366]

I think you guaranteed that lol

I'm saying nothin' !!! ? ? ?

 

[dirkclod]

I figured it was just mine that didn’t take much to bottom em out
and being my fingers having just older age arthritis and portability
not being a priority with me if I didn’t stick em I would loose one
so I just fixed that. ?‍

It's a little less than one turn for mine. There have been a few times I accidently left the sticks intact and put in the case and besides a very small mark inside the lid it fits ok. I often wondered why bother with removing them but I suppose if the case was dropped at the wrong angle or bumped on the lid it would damage the sticks. I'm used to dealing with threads at work sometimes very delicate threads (tooling) that is easily damaged with over tightening so I'm used to being very careful.

Less than one turn is really shallow.
It's a single thread isn't it, not a double?
I have see some double threads on some Chinese stuff but the steep helix angle was quite noticeable.

I didn't think the discussion in this "thread" was "shallow" ?

(sorry couldn't resist?)

 

[old man mavic]

very good nice to see someone else trying out the one liners ,so it guess we will just stick at that then

 

[scro]

It's my turn to stick a few one liners in ?

 

[Deleted member 103366]

oooh dear

 

[old man mavic]

well @scro after that comment i guess we are both screw'd (enough i say enough) not sure how deep though

 

[Rchawks]

Yes mine is just under 1 thread, if I gave it a good twist I might get to 1 full turn. I tighten just enough not to loosen the sticks during flight.

 

[old man mavic]

exactly how long is this thread going on for

 

[Rchawks]

Yeah, the thread is getting deep!

 

[old man mavic]

lets make sure we dont end up cross threaded
