I had a Thunderstick on my 486 for a while.  Obviously you're aware of the
X & Y trim slidders; however, I found that some games required that they be
centered while others required X all to the left and Y all up.  The problem
with centering the trimmers is that if they're the slightest bit off, the
drift starts.

I'm now having problems with my Bondwell Intruder flight yoke in Chuck
Yeager's Air Combat.  Even with the trims all to one side, I still get
right attitude drift as if turning about 5 degrees to the right.  Red Baron
and F117A work fine.  Can't figure this one out.

  Norm.
