DX6i switch replacement

[perrybd]

I was looking for the exact replacement for a DX8 switch. I spent quite a bit of time and I found out that the switches on them are NKK brand switches on the DX8 at least.

I was horse playing with my brother last night and ended up falling onto my DX6i. Those gyro switches are sharp!

Assuming that they use NKK for the DX6i, this should be the one for the gyro switch: http://media.digikey.com/Photos/NKK%...Q4S1W01-RO.jpg

I haven't opened up the DX6i yet to verify, but I imagine they are the same.

for other switches, just lookup the part number in their catalog (on page 47/a50):

Switches A,H - NKK M2012E4S4W01 Long flat 2 way
Switches B,C,F,G - NKK M2013ES4W01 Short flat 3 way
Switches D,E - NKK M2013Q4S4W01 Long round 3 way

I dont remember the exact type of the gyro on the DX6i.
IIRC it is a long round 2 way so none of these match.
The long flat 2 way should be acceptable and the thread nut should match.I was never a big fan of the round lever ones anyway.
If I ever figure out the long flat 3 way I would change my others out.
