Default Self Centering

I'm new to hobby and mostly interested in 1/10 scale, scratch built vehicles.
I bought a Radiomaster tx16S transmitter but need to convert the left stick (throttle) to be self centering. Can anyone point me in right direction. ?

Check this

If your TX16s doesn't have the adjustment access "holes" in the front plates of the gimbals, then you need to fine-tune for tension from inside. I did not remove the tension bar like the guy on YT, releasing tension using the screws was enough to take away the rachet feel in my case.

You don't need any extra parts to center the stick in a TX16s. This is not Flysky.

Thanks guys, exactly what I needed. Was a lot easier than I thought it would be as well.

Thanks for this link! I'm getting one of these for ground vehicles. I wanted self centering throttle and the vid is perfect! Again, thanks! (From the future? Lol I see this is a bit old.)
