Sukit, I have the HE sensor on my stick (am currently awaiting the =
throttle
mod as I am getting pot spikes in the throttle as well!). I could go on =
and
on about how great they are (they are worth the money, trust me). GET =
THE
MOD!! My stick is as smooth as a baby's bottom and absolutely no =
spiking
whatsoever. The HE sensors Cub pilot uses are supposedly rated for
15,000,000 cycles (probably live longer that I will). Don't waste your =
time
or efforts on crappy pots that you will just have to change over and =
over
again. In the long run, the HE sensors will be cheaper and save you a =
lot
of headaches. Order both mods at once, as I have been waiting about 2-3
months for my throttle mod simply because Cub gets a ton of orders. I =
have
two cougars, one of which will be completely HE sensors with Ian =
Johnston's
Uber cougar mod and the other I am planning on using with Marv's LVDT =
stick
base when he gets it done. I am going to have Cub add on a second HE =
sensor
on my throttle mod when it's time for the throttle in my pit. Hope this
helps.

Considering the working hours I've been using it, the pots in my Cougar =
set
shouldn't have a well-known "spiking" problem! But it happened to the =
pot
in my throttle last weekend. I just noticed it when I can't get to the =
idle
position when I flew a DC-3 in MSFS2002. Then, I tested it in Foxy =
analyzer
software, and accepted that there's a problem.
=20
I checked in the hardware section of the official cougar web pages, and =
saw
that there's a Q&A about fixing the spiking pot! Gezzz... this must =
happen
to many cougar owners, so they have the Q&A listed. I experienced =
fixing a
spiking pot in my F-22 stick (FCLS+TQS) and it went well that time, so =
this
shouldn't be a big deal with a small CTS pot. But it's not, after
deassemble the pot, clean out the dust, putting grease, and put them all =
in
the positions.... there's still some noticable (and unacceptable) =
spiking
!!!! (It was an unhappy weekend to me). I thought I have to check the =
OEM
web site, and see if I can buy .. may be 10 pots! as spare parts.
=20
I found the CTS web site, printed out the product catalog, and I even =
found
that there's a distributor in Bangkok (a big surprise to me). I =
suddenly
called the distributor, a sale person was not very kind. I was told =
that
they have some samples for the customers, and the minimum order will be =
as
lessas 10,000 pots!!!! Gosh, I need only 10.
=20
FYI: The CTS web site is www.ctscorp.com. You can download the pdf
technical data from it's product section
http://www.ctscorp.com/electro/251pot.htm=20
=20
Just a story of my "almost" dead pot to share with the community. I =
would
be so glad if anyone can tell the exact model of the pot. My best guess
would be 251B15F104B5N1
=20
If anyone here can find an electronic supply store where you can buy =
this
model, please let me know. Also, have anyone used the Cougar stick mod
"Hall effect sensor" from a cubpilot? It would be great if you can tell =
how
do you like it.
