extension instead of switch?
I'm building a stick type plane powered by a converted Homelite 30cc. I am thinking of using a heavy duty extension plugged into the battery slot of the receiver. When I'm ready to fly, I'll plug the battery into the extension and unplug it after landing. I will have it located so that it’s easy to access. This is so that I don't have to use a switch, because I’ve read so much about switch failure. I’ve done this a lot with smaller glow planes and it has worked well for me. Is there any reason this would not work on this larger gas plane? I’m using a 6V 2000 mah NimH to power the system. Thanks.
