    I've seen some people put buttons on a Spectrum transmitter. How exactly do you do that. Someone in Australia replaced switches, which I'm willing to do (can't switch out right stick because I need it for turret rotation and depression).
    Thx, Sammy

    Basically it's just replacing the potentiometer the gimbal with a voltage divider, it's more or less the same on every radio, the resistor values aren't super important there are a lot of combinations that work.
