@Shadow...
If you HADN'T been getting the DX6i, I would have recommended putting a wrap of electrical tape, or like DD said, a rubber band, or something to hold the switch in Normal. I was going to disable it all together, but then remembered, "Oh, wait, all the setup stuff should be done in Idle Up, throttle at mid-stick.". So I decided to go with a less 'semi-perminent' solution.
