Has anyone actually tried modding their DX6i to add an instantaneous flipper switch on the Throttle channel? If so - how straightforward is it? Is it simply a case of wiring a push-to-make switch between the centre connection of the throttle pot and whichever end of the pot corresponds to lowest res...

Depends how you've got your tabs/toolboxes set up but right click the body in question in the browser (aka "stack on the left" ;) ), then select "Physical Material". The Physical Material toolbar has two sections - swatches of materials already "In this design" and and ...

Respect! Would have been tough keeping them all working through an event, though at least you can standardise on spares.
