Default RE: Switch failure Issues with Flight Pack

I have 15 flights on my 428 airplane. The first 6or7 flights ,everything was fine. On the next 8or9, the switch became harder and harder to turn off. The switch is NEVER hard to turn on, neither is it hard to turn off unless it has been run. Yesterday, Short....er,I mean Jimmy
and I went to practice for James Barrs race. He had a brand new 424 plane and with each flight the switch got harder to turn off ONLY!
On the fourth flight he landed, we walked out to the plane ,he made a few more trans. changes, I went to turn the switch off and it was
locked up. We both tried 2or 3 times to turn it off with no luck. He had to take the wing off and unplug the batt.
To tell you the truth, I think he and I are lucky to still have airplanes.................
