Walkera 2801Pro – throttle stick tension adjustment mod
I just opened the 2801Pro from my 4G6 (great little helicopter) because i didn’t like the trottle stick tension. Tension was too strong and i dont like the snapping.
To get rid of the snapping i carefully sanded down the little plasic teeth inside the throttle stick mechanics. A very small amount of grease on the plasic and the metal locking-part makes the throttle stick movement even smoother.
I wanted to be able to adjust the tension screw without opening the Tx casing, so i drilled a 4mm hole into the back of the Tx.

Another thing to do would be to replace the bushings with bearings like Spektrum on the DX7. Heres a great how-to for the bearing mod on the Spektrum DX7 – should work pretty much the same way on the 2801.
