GV-1 sensor scematic??

[ChrisW]

I'm tired of messing with broken sensors on my GV-1 (not to mention the $40 each time)...I want to build my own...I don't want to go the optical sensor way..
Does anyone have the schematic for the GV-1 sensor? I need to know which hall effect sensor and resistor, etc.

"The TJ sensor may be economically adapted to the Futaba GV-1 if need be by the addition a 1K ohm resistor. The GV-1 sensor has an above average failure rate at the sensor casing and often these cases are hard to acquire. This is the main reason for the populatity of the after market optical sensors. The single resistor goes across the white and red wire on the TJ sensor. Thanks go to Paul Beard the manufacturer of the Throttle Jockey for this bit of helpful information. They are on the web at www.modelavionics.com. "
