Has anyone converted the throttle stick of an RDS8000 to self-centering? Are the parts available?

Well, answered my own question on this one. It's every bit as easy as converting a Futaba. I picked up a complete right side gimbal from Hobby People for $20 that supplied enough parts to do two radios. It took longer to take the screws out of the case than to convert the stick. Works great! The only catch is when you first turn on the transmitter it will give an alarm due to the stick being in the middle (1/2 trottle for an airplane) of it's throw. Simply pull the stick all the way back for a second and it clears the alarm, release the stick, turn the truck on and you're good to go. The RDS8000 is an awesome radio!
