Josh and Peter install new switches in their transmitters and show you step by step how to do it yourself.
What better way to void your warranty than by mod’ing your transmitter with some some switches or buttons!
We picked up some switches from Radio Shack, each with different functions and sizes.
Be sure to use a pillow to save your sticks while you 'operate' on your transmitter.
Using a digital multimeter you can check how each of your switches will work and you can match up the best switch for your installation.
Taking photographs as you open up your radio is a great way to keep track of what plugs go where, in case anything gets unplugged accidentally.
While your radio is open, it's a good chance to also check to be sure things like your antenna are plugged in!
Push button (on/off) switches, flip switches and and just about any other type of switch can be installed.
Reminder that opening your radio will void your warranty, but it's something that you can do if you want to modify or repair your own radio.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to share your radio mods, and other ideas in the comments or the forum!

Also, hey flitetest guys, use FLUX when you use desoldering braid (copper strip) and add additional 60/40 solder to the factory solder joints. It will make your job a lot easier.
