Just a word of caution. Sailboats don't like a lot of unneeded weight. They also don't like things that upset the airflow over the hull. If you really "have" to use the other channels, keep everything as light and unobtrusive as possible
Wanted to add a few lights to the sail boat. I did wire up 3- 3mm led lights and wondered what type of switch to use. I guess the small servo would move and arm and hit the switch. Know anything about the type of switch to use? Maybe I can get it on ebay? Can the leds get power from a spot on the receiver thats not being used? Thanks Ron
