I know 3 other buds (local) I sim with that have Cougars.  We all have
different experiences with our Cats.  It took me about 2 weeks to get use to
her, or for her to break in.  I am not exactly sure which one.  I'd give it
a couple of weeks.  If you don't notice a change, begin the mods.  Heck,
maybe going ahead looking into sensors might be a good idea.  So just
incase, you have a direction you want to go.
3 out of 4 of us have experienced some range of trouble with the pots.  For
2 of us, a quick cleaning and presto.  The third person has no trouble I
know of, other than he had to mod/repair his speed brake button on day 1.
For the fourth, he is out of commission with total axis response failure
(don't remember if it is x or y).
I am interested in Marv's design.
But oohhh....I find it hard now, to picture my hands on anything else.
There is nothing like the feeling of placing your hands on that cold
metal...except an occasional numbing effect now and again.  And I still
raise a little concern when there's a good lightning storm near.  LOL.
Cheers,
Cage
