Was that a can of worms I heard opening?
This topic has been very controversial in the past. Personally, I pull it out to turn it on. This way, it can't get bumped while in storage and accidentally turned on.
Yes, Mike... you heard correctly....
I've got a pull-push switch on one of my planes.. I decided I didn't like it.. It took up too much space inside the fuselage. Kind of a PITA to work around.
I was at the hobby store the other day. MPI has a switch that's also a charger plug in. Bigger surface area on the outside of the fuse, but combines the switch and the charging jack. Eliminates one wire on the inside of the fuse. Gonna try one of those next.
I use those all the time with the exception on my float planes. I like it because it is easy to put the volt meter on it and it is easy to charge. A little priceysome want 16 yankee green backs and I buy mine at the Toledo show for 12 bucks.
