I've become one of the three most dangerous things in the world [1] yesterday. I grabbed a soldering iron and went to fix stuff. Had a broken RC transmitter that didn't transmit, and a broken USB joystick with frozen sticks ("stickstick"?).

In the end, I have a USB joystick made out of the old transmitter that can be used for flying simulators. Unfortunately the joystick's circuitry is really bad and it can sense only 8 levels in each direction, which is too low for any decent flying. So it can be said, >> The operation was successful, but the patient died. <<
