wings, in my opinion you are fixing to make a big mistake. the switch is normally the cheapest priced component on a plane, and it is usually the component that causes the most trouble. ie. failures why would you want to cut corners by using a switch that has already been damaged and no matter how good you are at electronics repairs will always be a question mark. Look around some and you should be able to find switches with built in charge ports for less than $18 Cermark and mpi both make good switches and can be bought direct from them for less than that. Good luck Oh before I forget all switches will be set up for a specific application so if you do decide to buy new make sure you specifiy what brand of radio equipment, Futaba J, JR, old style airtronics, or what ever you happen to be using
