I just completed a Something Extra ARF and for the life of me I can’t figure out where is the best place to mount the switch.

You guys who have built this model; can you give me some ideas?

Thanks.

Dave

I have built two, and you are right, fitting the switch somewhere is a nightmare!

On one I have placed the switch on the underside, near the landing gear legs, and on the other, I mounted it inboard with a wire coming through the side near the leading edge. It JUST fits!

Good luck.

On mine it is on the side of the fuselage, just below the wing.

Mine's also just below the wing on the port side (opposite of the side that the muffler is on). It's a tight fit!

here's a pic of where i mounted mine. below the front of the wing...

What's that blanket of white stuff the plane is running on?

haha, funny... just took that last week btw...

anyway, it was actually quite a bit fun driving it around on snow, almost as much fun as flying! those are coroplast skiis, a little small but as soon as you have power it planes on top and generally works great. (look closely in the background, LOTS of tracks from just cruising around...)

. . . . . that must be fun taking off and landing on snow.

No way, right? Am I gullible, or what? Last WEEK?

I mounted a GP switch and charge jack on the bottom of the fuse. It seems to be working fine afte about 25 flights.

I've had two SE, both have the switch located just behind the landing gear. Works great!

I think you will be able to see it in the attached photo.
