Modification of a ACE desktop 737 yoke
published december 1th, 2020
Quite recently I acquired a second hand ACE desktop yoke type 737.
This yoke has a few problems which I intend to fix and furthermore I will also replace
the controller with a new joystick controller. Also the yoke does not turn 90 degrees in roll
and makes a lot of noise when moving and it appears that the spring are responsable for
a lot of noise during movements. It moves nicely in roll, but pitch is far from good, don’t know
yet what I can do about that. Furthermore the “Autopilot disconnect” switch has problems to.
So quite some work to do at this yoke. One more improvement will be a new clipboard on the yoke

On the positive side the yoke itself is made
of aluminium and feels heavy. I cannot
compare to the real one because I never
had one, but it feels good and has a nice
black paint.
Part 2, replace the joystick controller
Part 3, a new yoke clipboard
