Yeah well there's tightened and then there's-- TIGHTENED! If he's got them snugged full up actually tight it's no wonder he's feeling it. That's what I think he's describing. That's not the idea of the clutches. Full up tight is how it comes from the factory but it's right in the startup guide to loosen them I believe.
I don't know what his threshold of smooth is. I'm several years into mine now and it's just butter smooth. Light years away from the CH stick it replaced. That stick was smooth too but with a lightness of weight that suggested it was a toy in comparison. I was just trying to get at whether he's actually feeling a sticktion moving the stick. Or is it perceived as sticktion looking at the graph in the tester. If he's looking at the graph it could be a connection thing as I'd said. I also considered it might just be how he's moving the stick. This thing is highly sensitive. Light years away from sticks of the past and will show the tiniest of movements on that graph. Human movement isn't perfect.
If he's actually feeling sticktion with this stick with the dampers fully loosened then that points to something dragging in the gimbal. Washer in the wrong place or missing. Bearing tightened too much (pre-load). Bad spot on a cam. Something like that. Easily fixed. We'll get him straightened out.
