Just as the title says. What do you do with the throttle safety switch when using and aftermarket throttle block? I know the kill switch can just be unplugged or relocated, but what happens to the sensor in the stock throttle block?

I electrical taped my switch closed. Really thinking back on it I would THINK you could jump the two wire together and that would actually work better.
For some reason when I hooked up the switch my Fly kill switch stopped working. When the safety switch was unhooked the kill switch worked fine. I need to look into it more I suppose

*dont jump the switch connection or leave it unplugged it will go in limp mode*

You have to leave it plugged in and tape the switch because its a variable resistance switch. I measured resistance on it and open is 2.4k ohms and pushed in is 6.8k ohms. You could try unplugging it and replacing it with a 6.8k resistor.

FYI it is a good idea to put dielectric grease on the connector plug for the switch. Getting moisture in this connector will throw off the resistance reading and put it in limp mode.
