FrSKY Throttle Return Spring?

[Spookyeng]

Hello Guys,

I am wondering if anybody has put a throttle return spring on a FrSKY X20 or X18 Series transmitter(s)? I have my throttle on a slider on my X20RS, but I am more then likely going to switch out to a X18SE again, just for gliders, since the ergonomics of the X18 Series sliders are much better for me. Hoping for a X18 Pro or something similar, since the X18 Ergonomics are so nice, at least for me.

i keep my throttle up and pull down to control crow brake and/or spoilers as I am sure most do. I would like to have it spring loaded up. I thought I watched a video were it was spring loaded down before? Before I dig into a radio, I wanted to ask if there is an easy button first! Thanks and talk soon.

Typically the gimbals have springs on them that can be engaged by turning some screws, but it would make the throttle stick return to center, not to the top. I have seen people do things like a rubber band around the stick to pull it up or pull it down. While not elegant, it is easy.

Thanks Wayne, I have some ideas after opening up the radio again, but I might just leave it for now.
