Default RE: Need advice from Instructors

Hossfly made a comment about that Da--ned button on some transmitters, this might help. When Futaba first came out with them I was working in the hobby industry and had the chance to talk to some people in the know. I explained that the button could create problems where the instructor actually lost control and didn't always know it. ( it inbeds into the finger / thumb and unseats itself ) Shortly after a couple letters and more talks Futaba changed some of their stuff. They do listen if you are willing to put a little effort of your own into fixing the problem. ---- If you have that problem with a system -- write the company and explain the problem, DON'T cry baby it or indicate they are idiots, just explain the problem and let them fix it.

Now, ---- a partial cure for the switches that are out there ( I make all my students that have that switch do it ) Cut a small piece of plastic ( we use pop bottles , milk cartons etc. ) about the right size to cover the switch completly then use some GOOD tape and tape the plastic piece so it forms a flap that sets on the switch. Now when you use the switch it stays in contact and for us OLD farts that have soft skin it doesn't inbed in our thumb / finger. Try it, it works and is almost free.

I hope you try this, it really does work. By the way you can order a toggle switch on most radios from Tower. Insist on it.

ENJOY !!!! RED
