X52 pro throttle detent fix

thingiverse

After a while, the x52pro throttle will fail, no matter how gentle you are. Most fixes propose to remove the detent all together, I don't like that. I’d prefer to fix it and keep it. ####Symptoms#### It's one of the two: * The throttle cannot go to 100% even if you push it forward. * You have to force the throttle forward to reach 100% throttle. You have to constantly push it to the front and as you remove pressure, the throttle slides back on its own. ####Problem#### It’s all because of the internal force angles and the under engineered bracing mechanism. At some point the casing surrounding the detent breaks creating more space around the detent, allowing it to move back-front and not up-down. ⇒ The throttle notch does not push the detent downward anymore. ####Solutions#### No need for glue as the small pieces are tight fit with the surrounding walls. 1. Clean a little bit the surrounding (take precautions, it is insanely sticky) 2. Insert the 2 pieces 3.
