A174 spring removal - does the Joystick stay still?

A174 spring removal - does the Joystick stay still?

2009-03-06 by mirror_saw7778

I just got a A174 and was wondering if I remove one or both of the springs will the joystick have enough resistance to stay put after I let go of it? My modular is on a vertical +25 degree angle. I also noticed that the X and Y axis are different mechanically - would one be better to remove the spring from? By better I mean would it stay in place on its own if not touched?

Isn't that a bit risky since it's a one-way mod?
