I had the same joystick setup, Kraft card and Thunderstick. I had mine for
about a year first with Their Finest Hour and then SWOTL. I noticed two
things about the Thunderstick. One was the vertical and horizontal adjusters
can be hit slightly during flight and that will cause you to re-calibrate.
Second is the joystick started to loosen up which had the same effect. I
replaced the Thunderstick with a Gravis (sp?) joystick (still using the Kraft
card) and I haven't had a problem since.
