Default RE: HBK2 Power Switch


ORIGINAL: kenhiraihnl

taking an idea from 'the other micro heli forum'...i installed a radio shack 275-624 micromini toggle switch on my hbk2...i soldered the switch into the hot (red) lead between the esc and battery...now i can walk out to the flight line, turn on the transmitter, flip the switch up, and fly...after i land, i flip the switch down, turn off the transmitter, and walk back to the pits...i think it is a worthwhile mod...btw, the switch is rated at 3 amps @ 125vac, which equals 30 amps @ 12vdc...i use a cc phoenix 25 esc...i've already experienced total electrical failure on my logo10, so i'm not overly paranoid about a switch failure...ken

I've thought of doing the same thing myself, especially for when i put my airwolf fuselage on.
