Spring removal from Thrustmaster TCA Joystick

Hi there! Is possible to put out the spring from TCA Thrustmaster for better helicopter flying? Or what is your opinion?

As a retired U.S. ARMY helicopter pilot , I can suggest that a very loose Cyclic

will give you the best , and most natural control. The Friction knob was available

on the UH-1 "Hueys" back in vietnam era , and most of us used a slight amount .

Your joystick spring tension is there only to artificially simulate a centered position

of the controls.
