Fitting a switch to adjust the modes of the LMF, rather than cutting the mode wires is very simple, a basic skill of soldering is all that is required. Below is a pictorial set of instructions detailing each step. Please read through the complete document to familiarise yourself before proceeding.
1) Using wire cutters carefully cut away the rubber heat shrink tube at the end of the mode wires. 2) Cut the end of the wires off, where they are soldered together. Note:- If the mode wires have previously been cut, you can cut them all at the same point, providing there is enough wire left to enable the switch to be fitted.
3) Cut 6mm from the end of the white wire. Note:- the White wire will also have a trace of another colour, but should be easily identifiable
4) using a modellers knife carefully remove 2mm insulation from the end of each wire.
5) Tin the ends of the wires using a soldering iron & solder.
6) Cut the small heat shrink tube into 5 pieces and slide one piece over each wire. 7) Solder each coloured wire onto the switch. Ensure you keep the heat shrink tube well away from the end of the wire and the soldering iron.

8) Solder the white wire to the other side of the switches that have been joined together.
9) Slide the heat shrink tube over the soldered wires
10) Using a hot air gun, heat the heat shrink tube. Be careful not to use too much heat and melt the wires!
11) Using a hot glue gun, add glue to the wires and the soldered joints to give mechanical strength. If you do not have a glue gun, epoxy may be used instead.

12) Thread the 10mm heat shrink over the servo lead.
