No, two stitches, two batteries... plugged into two receiver slots!
I have flown model planes since the early 70s and have never had a switch short out.
Just set it up as normal and stop worrying. The chances that you'll crash through pilot error, yours or somebody else are infinitely bigger than a switch failure.
Ah choice, I will just do the normal old setup then. I have heard of people with two terminals coming out of a single battery going into two switches...there is a thread on it somewhere here and it sounded like a good idea to me. Yes I am paranoid but money is tight! I will just use the switch I have in my ultrasport. It has never given any problems and at least I have faith in that particular switch. Its a standard switch nothing heavy duty...I assume a heavy duty futaba switch is also over kill even with just 6 high torque servos?
