Broken/loose gimbal, can it be repaired?

[highflyer9]

Hi! I just went to set up a new park flyer (ultrafly Cessna) when I pulled out my 4ch futaba, I immediately noticed the right gimbal stick is loose, I mean really loose. If I stand the radio on the table, the gimbal flops to the low position without any resistance. Now admittedly I am a newb, but I am almost sure that this is not supposed to happen!!!! I am sure one of you out there has had this happen, or knows the insides of the tx's well enough to tell me what is going on. I bought the 4yf a few months ago, and literally have never used it. Can anyone tell me if this is an easy fix, or do I have to send it out for repair?

Thanks in advance....

never mind, I fixed it. Ok so I admit I had a little panic attack. Not that it is an expensive radio... So I cracked it open, saw that the cantelivered spring monted centering arm had broken free from its post, drilled a new hole through the side wall of th gimbal assembly, mounted a peice of control rod, just the right thicknes (i knew there was a reason I keep all those little off cuts) expoxied it in place, remounted the centering arm, hooked up the spring to its mount and....Fixed. I'm so proud. now back to the build.....
