I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. I have a cheap Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS that I really like. I have the twist-stick locked down and use the rocker bar on the throttle for rudder control. Sometime it gets that same problem - throttle up becomes right bank. I have to remind myself to check the controls before every flight. I've found that when it happens I can just unplug the unit and plug it back in and things go back to normal. Other than that I can't think of anything to tell you.
