Red Raider, have you seen an Rcexl switch offered with the BEC mod already done, available somewhere beside Valley View? That's the only place I've ever seen them offered, and can't help wondering if they aren't doing them? Takes a total of maybe 3 minutes to do that mod. You could do a BUNCH of them in an hour if you had them all stacked up in front of you. VV making a killing on them for what they get for them (not a lot cheaper than the TA switch).

Regarding soldering, geez, it's just not that hard to learn, nor are the supplies that expensive. Kinda like building a kit vs. buying an ARF thou I guess. You have the ambition, or you don't.

Cheap by nature, doing that mod the perfect kind of project for me. For what that switch costs, the mod makes it a great value. -Al
