That sounds like a great idea but I still won't be trusting it carrying the bird with the deans connected. Your brave If you bump that switch with the TX off you could get a surprise. So where on the new rocker switch did you connect the hot (red) leads? I'm going to pick some switches up tomorrow. Thanks for sharing man.
hi xo...you're right about the hazard of a connected pack...the rocker switch is spst, and has 3 copper blade terminals (ground, load, and power)...i just cut the red lead from the esc to the male deans and soldered the ends to the load and power terminals...the illumination doesn't work that way, but the switch completes the circuit between the 3s lipo and the esc...i used my multimeter continuity tester to verify that up was 'go fly', and down was 'safe'...ken
