Hi, Saw a nice little accessory today.
It's a little red/blinking indicator light that tell when the receiver is on. The plane I saw it on had the light in the cockpit, could be placed elsewhere I'm sure.
Only has one light not several and it's in
the $25 price range.
Anyone know who make/sells this particular one??
Tnx

Hi, Many Thanks, that's the exact unit I saw. I did ask the name of the unit but
forgot it by the time I got back home.
See why I could really use one of these?
Tnx Agn

There us to be a light that was a 5volt led that went out when battery got below 5volts, we got them at Royal Elec . before they went out of business then got them at ACE.

Just went to the Ace site and thought I'd
take a look at those also. Darned if I can
find them.
I'll give it another try later.
Tnx

Guys, if you go to radio shack and get an LED (they have blinking and steady burn) in the 5v range you can solder it to a regular lead for your type of radio. Then plug it into any open channel on your receiver and it will let you know when the system is on. Might cost you a whole $1.50 .
Look for the ultra brite LED's , they show up better in bright sunlight.

How much current does it draw? Blinking must be 50% less?

Guess that would depend on
the "Blink Cycle"..... wouldn't it??

i got one for ya.. for 10 bucks.. its called a voltwatch.....

As mentioned previously, you can use an on-board voltage indicator, which lights up when the receiver is ON. You can also use the new MPI switch harness with charge jack, which also has LED's.

i have one of those from MPI also....very nice. i think all on-off switches should be like this myself...

i took led's and put them in the ends of my wings, red on the left and green on the right and wred them into my aileron servo. now i know when the rec is on and i have nav lights to boot!!! workin on a fin strobe now!
