Finished the mod had a few problems but managed to work them out..Had a hard time with the Aux knobs on the outside of the tx hitting the gimbals but after a bit of tinkering got them worked out..Other problem is when i switched the min-max i couldn't get -100 on the Throttle and Elevator so i had to manually experiment with the values in the tx.ini till i got it to -100 on both the Thr and Ele...
Still need to do some test flying but i believe it should fine...Also need to find some 3mm counter sunk screws for the gimbal plates the 2.5mm barely tightened up and i don't trust them holding very well a good bump on the sticks could pop them loose..
So gonna search for some 3x10 counter sunk screws or maybe they called tapered head screws ..

I opened up my tx to get a closer look at the magnets...They are round and looks like a bit of a challenge to get them off meaning to nearly completely disassemble the gimbal.. Plus not sure how to tell north from south pole on them unless a marker is used to carefully mark there position..Could be it just looks more complicated then it actually would be cause i didn't remove the gimbals i just took off one of the sensor chips to get a closer look at the magnet..

Already ordered another gimbal for investigation and see if this can be installed in my Devo 8S as well.

My new Gimbal arrives, I checked the magnet, it is oriented like this:
And after I turned it 180deg, the polarity id reversed and it works.
Note: The N and S is marked as relative illustration, I never check which one is N and which one is S
