I've been using the Maxx Products arming switch/plug.
http://www.maxxprod.com/mpi/mpi-21.html (Look at the bottom of the page)
I like it a lot. Is there anyone here that uses these too? I see a lot of guys that just hang a single wire and connector out the side of the plane. That seems effective if not a little sloppy looking. Is there anyone here that has a good reason not to use the Maxx Products switch?
TIA

I have been using a home made version of it. I soldered a female Deans plug into the (-) line from the ESC and glued it flush to the fuse side. The arming plug is a male Deans with the solder leads shorted with a piece of 14ga Romex left over from wiring the garage. Covered the bare wire with 5/8" heat shrink and fill with thick CA.
I am considering the single wire method on my next project. It is lighter and simpler, but not as neat.
