I know this may hard to believe, but my little dog ate my flight yoke! Actually he chewed the connection cable on my CH Pro flightr sim yoke. I have been only able to fly using the keyboard. Can any one suggest how I can fix this problem. I hate to go out and buy a new one as this one is only 5 months old.

No reason you shouldn't be able to splice the wires back. As long as you have enough room between the plug and the broken end to cut away a little insulation you should be able to do a fairly good job with a touch of solder and either electrical tape or shrink tubing. I'd suggest the tubing as it looks neater than when taped. Just make sure you cover the inner wires so that they don't touch each other and then put a wrap larger shrink tubing on the outside. Oh, make sure you slide the outer tubing up over the whole thing before you connect the inner wires. I've forgotten to do that once or twice and it's embarassing when you have to cut them all once again and start over.
