Thanks for that tip 'GeorgiaBII'. My buttons didn't break......they wore out......down to the screws. Then after they were completely worn down to the screws little pieces broke off because the material got so thin. But I can certainly see how jumping and leaving the throttle on when landing could be detrimental and will keep that in mind.

Thanks, Bob

They are located inside the secondary. Pull the secondary off, remove the snap retainer ring and the Helix will come right out of the housing. The buttons are inside the housing and easily accessed once the Helix is removed. Each of the three buttons is held in place with a Torx head screw......just unscrew them and screw the new ones in. Put your secondary spring back in (you can choose which settings.....two on the Helix and three on the housing......I set mine at 2/2), fit the Helix back in, push it down and install the snap retainer ring. You will need snap ring pliers. Then re-install the entire secondary back on the transmission shaft using the single long bolt. The toughest part is the snap ring.

Good Luck, Bob
