I am in the process of my own P2 conversion with a 14SGH
Even though I purchased the heli version from my local hobby shop there was no self centering throttle, nor did the necessary parts come in the box. I have determined a few things from my experience
There seem to be 3 versions out there: self centering already installed when ordered, a version with a big black plastic box on the back of the gimbal, which, when removed, will allow self centering (like
ianwood), and another with neither a lever nor spring (compared to this on the other control gimbal)
When emailing futaba/hobbico, I got a response telling me the part number and price, and phone to order. So I called and spoke to a tech to order but they are sending the part free of charge. I didn't ask to get it for free I was quite prepared to spend the $3.00 plus $6.00 shipping but he just offered. Moral of the story is to call and speak to a tech if email doesn't work out. You'd figure for a $600+ radio they would just send the part out without jumping through hoops. Glad they came through.
