RE: Arming switch - advice.

OK, I'll go with that then. But once again, I've got a bunch of packs and planes/helis with them and not once have I had one even come a bit loose on me. YMMV

RE: Arming switch - advice.

Interesting. It takes 25 pounds force to unplug the APP. I secure my wires so they cannot flop around, but I do that to avoid stressing where the wire connects to anything. I've never had a plug...

You can get anything Emcotec sells here:

He is a glider guy, airline pilot and reliable vendor. He is where I buy my Emcotec products.

RE: Arming switch - advice.

Interesting about the APP. I use them exclusively in my helis and airplanes. Over the past 3 years of use they have proven to be very reliable.

Here's an interesting video:

RE: Arming switch - advice.

It is true that once it is on, if it fails it stays on. But I also spent some time with them and found out that if it is off and fails, it will not turn on or otherwise complete the circuit unless...

RE: Arming switch - advice.

No. It got voted down by the ACB.




My plane loads the battery from the bottom. Far less convenient than a top loader. I load my packs plug it all in and the arming switch has a red flag...

RE: Arming switch - advice.
