Default My Interlink keeps breaking!

I have realflight g3 for about a year and the interlink keeps breaking. I have sent it in with the same problem 5 TIMES[:@]!!! The problem is the stick makes a cracking noise whenever it is put over the center. I sent it to realflight and i got it back only for it to break AGAIN[:@][:@][:@]! What is wrong with these controlls?! Are they pieces of junk or something? I'm tired of this happening! What is wrong with these frickin things?!

It's probably doing that because of wear. I too have had G3 for almost a year but my computer wouldn't install it, so now i've been playing it for about 6 months and nothings happened to mine. It's probably wear or a package error

Its the right stick though, not the throttle.

Settle down Francis!! That happend to me, - twice! took it to the hobby shop, manager fixed it in 2 minutes. Slamming the throttle hard is what causes it, jams the inards up a bit. Last time it happened i fixed it myself - open the back up, one of the tiny pins in the yolk (kinda like a u joint) pops out, so now there is no fulcrum conection to pivot on, spring pulls stick to corner, cuz there is no throtle spring. Sounds more complicated than it actually is, you have to stare at it awile to see it. compare the left side to the right to see it.
Good luck!

You are close, look around, try to find arm connecting to pin. Like a little tiny universal joint in the center of the two yolks, when one of the pins pops out, it doesnt let the yolks center properly. Its hard to see, keep staring at it as you move the gimbal, then look at the other side as you move it. for sure you'll need a small screwdriver to jam it back in. Theres alot going on in there, so its kinda confusing, but onece you fix it once, its not so bad.
