The modded joysticks are a lot better than they used to be (we also epoxy'ed the trim tabs into place) but there still seems to be some looseness where the stick attaches to the pots.

The screwdriver modification was really easy to do. We bought the screwdrivers for about $9, blowtorched the steel until it melted the plastic enough to be removable, then bored the handle and stuck it onto the joystick base.
