I had the Alpha Yoke working for some time (years), but recently the aileron function stopped working. I have disconnected and reconnected the Alpha, but no joy. I checked the control function and when I bank left or right, the binding indicator seems to wiggle, but not move as normal. I have also tried to reset the binding, but that does not seem to work either.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get this functioning again? It is very tough to fly with no control over the wings!

have you checked what the response is in Windows Calibration?

Also,

Give this a watch.

If calibration doesn’t work the potentiometer has likely failed, it’s a very easy repair and Honeycomb use cheap components, it’s a 10K 24mm bodied pot, you just need to make sure you get one with a long enough shaft. I found a replacement for mone for approximately £3.50 on eBay.
