Interesting. As long as the shaft itself is mounted pretty secure, I couldn't care less about wobble on the yoke itself....I would be removing the Saitek yoke and installing my real yoke in its place, with an appropriate shaft adapter. The stock yoke does look like it would be wobbly and chinsy. Thanks for the info!
