Assembly Guide
1. Assemble collective base up to the point shown on the pic below and install your preferred throttle frame p1 on it (in this guide I am using a 206-style lever throttle frame p1)
2. Install a throttle pot, the mode switch, and pull the pot cable and a 5-wire (!) cable through the lever.
3. Prepare an MTS-123 switch, a 6x6x17mm tact button and a PBS-10-B2 button. Solder a ground wire from a 5-wire cable to them as shown on the picture below. Choose the wire at one of the ends of the cable that has a darker color.
