Our team has become quite accostomed to opening up the joystick and "tampering" with it. We have done things like rewiring the switches so that they could be used externally. We have also epoxied the trim knobs in a place we like, because of the programming problems this creates. This gluing and rewiring, I'm afraid, falls under the "gluing and rewiring" clauses in C1. I just can't understand the purpose behind forbidding us to alter the very simple flightsticks, but allowing us to change potentially complex ones that we would buy from a store. Perhaps this rule should be reconsidered by FIRST.
