Schematic for T-rudder mk 5? (I broke a bolt!)
Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2023 19:56
Howdy all,
I was using my T-rudder mk5 pedals last night when all the sudden I heard a "clang" and the tension in the pedals dropped to zero. Pedals still work in sim, but they don't return to the center position on their own now. Upon examination, I found some components rattling around freely inside the mk5s - including what looks to be the head of bolt which has been sheared off. I suppose this bolt was holding some spring in tension, and when it sheared the whole thing came undone.
I opened a support ticket with VKB already (#8193), but wondering if anyone have a schematic of the T-rudder mk5 assembly? Pretty sure I could simply remove the broken bolt and replace it... but I don't immediately see how the mk5's went together now that it has disassembled itself, ha.
Thanks!
