FlySky FS-GT5 Upgrades (thumb steering, menu knob, aux channel knobs)

thingiverse

<b>DESCRIPTION:</B> These are a few upgrades for the FlySky FS-GT5 radio to make it more user friendly. These parts work best if printed in a hard filament (PLA, PETG, ABS) but will probably also work well with a 95A hardness level or higher TPU. <b>GT5 Thumb Steer:</b> -Attaches to the wheel under the foam and secures with double sided tape or held in place with tape wrapped around the wheel. This solution really well for me and I like this better than a fully printed wheel w/ thumb steer or designs that are intended to replace the steering foam with a TPU wheel cover w/ integrated thumb steer. <b>GT5 Navigation Menu Wheel Replacement:</b> -An easier to use menu wheel that replaces the finicky finger wheel. <i>To remove the OEM finger wheel simply pry up under the wheel until it comes out and reveals the potentiometer D-pin, then press on the new wheel onto the pin.</i> <b>GT5 Aux Channel Replacement Knob:</b> -This knob is larger and designed in a way to make it easy to turn with just 1 finger. This works especially well with Aux6 because it makes it possible to turn the knob with your steering hand while driving, a big plus for those using Aux6 for rear wheel steer. <i>To remove OEM Aux5/Aux6 knobs just pull them straight up until it comes out and reveals the potentiometer D-pin, then press the new knob onto the pin.</i> <i><b>Tip: To best use this for rear-wheel steer with Aux6 I found that if you hold your index finger straight while resting it on the Aux6 knob, Aux6 will turn as you turn your hand to steer (but will turn in the opposite direction which is what you want for rear-wheel steer). This works great for me and the turning proportions between the front/back wheels to be close to the same using this method.</i></b>
