[QUOTE="peejay, post: 116626, member: 1053"] heh, my move to the new office and "restarting" the company from COVID-lockdown took longer than I expected, just got the fiber connected few days ago so I'm almost up-and-running completely.. I will share the video soon, even if interest falls down - just to fulfill my promise. I already feel bad for delaying that, so now it's a matter of honor for me. anyway, there was no need to unscrew those metal frames - at least I didn't do that. long story short - look closer at the joysticks. I planned to cut them off & make some drilling, as my original ones looked like "one piece with the mechanism". the other RC I got seemed to be a little bit different and.. after applying fair but gentle force [I used pliers to grab those metal frames in one hand, and with other hand I grabbed the joystick] and little bit of wrestling - joystick popped out, luckily without damaging anything. then I had two options - adding a cut-off thread from the screw, or filling up the hole, drilling a bit and threading it with the replacement joysticks directly. I tried the second option and it worked fine! in case the epoxy I used to fill the hole, crumbles and falls off - I can always redo it or glue the screws in for use with the second type of sticks. don't know if all sticks can be removed, but it's worth to try, just after inspecting it with magnifying glass.
