If you have no problem opening up your Tx up and cutting some wires then it's not that difficult. I didn't actually replace a toggle switch with a NO (normally open) pushbutton but wired the pushbutton inline with the gear up/down switch (channel 5 on my Tx).  Now I use the toggle to "arm" the firing circuit and the pushbutton to "fire".  The pushbutton was installed in an empty spot that I found in the Tx casing.

So, I opened up my futaba skysport 6 and i noticed there are 3 poles for my landing gear toggle switch, but only two wires come from the circuit board it is connected to. I think that's a great idea to have an additional "safety" in place--how do I connect the wires from my pushbutton to the toggle switch wires? I have a spdt momentary switch--do i connect the NO or NC with the ground to the switch wires?
