I'm just finishing a Senior Telemaster. And I'm starting the test fitting of the electrical components.

The problem/challenge/question I have is coming up with a master power switch.


I want a switch accessible from the outside of the plane. Isn't too big, isn't too obtrusive. Why??? Because I'm dealing with a lot of battery connectors, and I don't want to be farting around with a hatch after the power is armed. A master power arm switch would be a good thing...


The switch I found so far is one from Northern Tool:

But, the darn thing is pretty good sized. The circular base is about 2-1/4" in diameter. The switch shaft is about 7/8" in diameter and 1-1/4" deep. I'm thinking of mounting it deep into the fuselage so that only a little actually is visible outside the plane. But in this configuration, it'll take up a lot of space on the inside.

Now, a Senior Telemaster is a good sized bird, and the space is available to use, but down the road I'll be electrifying other airplanes, and those other planes may not have the convenient space to waste.


SO, I'm asking, does anybody have any other suggestions????

Links please...
