I show how i added a slider potentiometer to the side of my turnigy 9XR. It is hard to use the rotating pots on the turnigy 9XR to control the tilt axis on a camera gimbal while flying fpv. By adding a slider potentiometer to the side of the radio, i can keep my hands in place to control my aircraft. Simple procedure exchanging a new slider 5K ohm pot for the original 5K ohm pot. With some minor alterations to the case of the radio, the new slider will help you keep control of your aircraft.

I wouldn't have thought of using a slider pot, since this guy used a PS2 joysticks behind the remote. http://www.rchacker.com/projects/turnigy-9x/turnigy-9x-with-ps2-joystick

Does it have to be a 5k ohm pot?
Sparkfun only has 10k. I am guessing it is ok after you calibrate the pot in the software but I'm not sure...
