INVISABLE failsafe switch
To go along with the new high powered failsafe switch, I have developped the disapearing switch for all those scale applications

RE: INVISABLE failsafe switch
Very cleaver Roger!
Using a normally "on" switch (magnet removed) with a magnetic toggle to turn off the circuit! (magnet in place)
Now you wouldn't need an exposed hole where say, a "Remove To Fly" flag would go through.
You are a forward thinker!

RE: INVISABLE failsafe switch
Thank you for the Kudos.
The actual power switch is the same I have developped using a 116 amp mosfet.
With the Normally open magnetic switch, removing the magnet opens the circuit and the mosfet conducts, should there be any problem with the wiring, the power stays on until you unplug the battery.
As for the 116 amp mosfet, you would not be able to use all this capacity since the wiring would not handle it but you can have one set of wires for medium power, dual wires for power, and tripple wires for a lot of power.
So even with the most demanding application, the mosfet will not heat up.
As for the installation, quite straight forward, glued on the inside, and I add two flush mounted screws under the covering and this is to hold the rare earth magnet in place so it won't fall off in the transportation.
