Ok here's ya another failsafe switch. I haven't built one yet, just cus I haven't got around to it. It is called a phone jack switch. I won't go into detail cus here's enough info to tell ya. I hear good things as well as bad things about these types of switches. So my guess is to use with caution.??.
Here's a couple of threads on rcgroups.com that talk about these types of switches.
