Default RE: MY FLIGHT BOX IS COMPLETE . . . Let's see yours

Very good suggestions I am sure, but I don't know the 1st thing about electrical. I was only able to do the terminals cause someone drew me a plan on how to do it. I don't know what an inline fuse is and couldn't even take a guess about how to go about doing it. Or on how to do a shut-off switch. Anyone else know anything about such things and how to go about doing it?

tiger dude may I make two suggestions. The first would be to put an inline fuseon your battery to all power on your box. This will keep your battery from smoking and going up in flames due to an inadvertent short. This next suggestion is that you put a main cutoff swich for the battery with a switch cover over it. This last suggestion is low priority but the first one is a really good idea since you can not get into a battery compartment very fast.
