I have a Tamiya Pershing, a Futaba 2.4 gHz 4 channel radio, and a question...

Take the back off of you TX and wire in a push button to the circuit board containing the connections off the trim pots.  You'll wanna wire/solder into the neutral position and the trim up postion wires on the circuit board.  Then you can drill a hole and postion the button on the back or shoulder of the TX.

Hope this helps.
