My right stick is kind of sluggish when you let go of the stick causing the spark to drift sometimes. Anyone have any ideas or fixes?
 
You could maybe try a tiny shot of silicon spray (not graphite). If it is mechanically binding this could help. If there is a return spring issue then not so much.

I've had this on a couple of occasions,. Once the spark would not take off and I found the right stick was stuck slightly off centre. I moved the stick around but was unable to make it stay off centre again. On another occasion it stuck in the same place during a flight so I now just keep a close check on it. Might try a bit of silicone spray but I can't detect a tight spot. Sorry I can't suggest a solution!
