Drehgeber-Rotary knobs

[cgs]

Any way to stiffen the rear rotary knobs?
They are so soft that they are unmanageable, they only lead to errors!
Apart from overriding them with flight phases!!!
How wonderful the front potentiometers of my Profi TX!!!!!!!!

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die hinteren Drehknöpfe zu versteifen?
Sie sind so weich, dass sie nicht beherrschbar sind, sie führen nur zu Fehlern!
Abgesehen davon, dass sie mit Flugphasen überlagert werden!!!
Wie wunderbar die Frontpotentiometer meines Profi TX!

Hi, cgs!

Indeed, the rotary knobs are a bit sensitive and too free-moving. There is no hardware solution by the manufacturer but someone has indeed released a 3D-printing solution here in the forum. It is already a few years old and ich printed one myself but unfortunately never insatalled it in my COCKPIT SX 12 - so I can't definitely not say whether it works satisfactorily.

You may ask why I haven't installed it. Easy reason: I hardly use the COCKPIT SX as I prefer tray-TXs like the profiTX oder my old but trusty mc4000/30x0s.
And I agree with you: the rotary-knobs are not a be-all and end-all solution. I take it as a compromise to offer additonal pots on a hand-held TX that could be reached easily with some fingertips. Compared with traditional solutions (e. g. Futaba, Graupner-hott, etc.) the idea is not too bad at all but you have already mentioned the weak point of the actual realisation.

so long
