Default RE: On-Off switch for old Futaba

Bax - Is the switch harness the switch plus circuit board for the Tx or is it an airborne switch? It isn't clear from the part description you posted. My problem is with the Tx on-off DPDT switch mounted to a small PC board.

After a brief search, I found a good physical match for the Tx switch at Radio Shack. Current carrying capacity seems to be adequate - rated at 0.3 amps. It will be a bit tricky to install but a friend who is an electronics technician will do it for me. It will be thoroughly tested before I commit it to flight!!! The Radio Shack switch appears to be identical to the old one and sells in a package of two for $3.00 Cdn.

I'll give this one a try - I can always order the other part from Futaba if a problem still exists.

Thank you

Ross
