Good to hear.
I know I have used it a lot, having these bigger planes I just don't like hanging them.

I do not have to many big planes a couple of 100cc planes and one 150cc . Remember trying to balance them was not fun, and it is all most a two man job. So that is why I decided to do some homework and see if I can do it a better way. Thanks for the information.
Ok you do not have to spill all the info on the new plane but at least the size.

LOL! I don't have to anything, but I will. It is a 150cc biplane.

Now I Need something from you guys. I typically use a Pico switch, an r/c on/off switch operated by the reciever, but my usual supplier is out and says it will be two months before restocking and as usual I need one now. I tried using a Tech aero for a switch but did not work, I have a RCEXCELL coming and will try it. But I know somewhere out there is a form on an r/c on/off switch I just can't find them.
Anybody know of such?

Will be following you closely on this one I have a 150cc engine in a big stick huge plane but have out grown it. And it is a big plane. Hopefully the 150cc biplane is a lot smaller and I can fit it into a large SUV because I would not like to buy another minivan.

If I understand you correctly you are looking for a switch so that you can turn something on and off with the radio

Is this what you are looking for, the thing you want turn on and the battery goes between the two heavy leads.

Yes, if all it does is turn on and off. I want a Reciever controlled switch for my telemetry module, it is powered via a battery monitoring connection and that is what would turn off, no real voltage going through it.

Well I'll be a son of a gun. I have been using every term I can think of and came across Pico switches at my somewhat local hobby shop, Graves. I clicked two into the cart, it said available, I clicked purchase. Bam!!!
I have seen a number of what I call no name switches and not sure I would trust them, these Dimension Engineering Pico switches are nearly bullet proof.

The receiver does nothing except turn the SCR on or off . You have to have a separate battery . If it does the trick for you I will send it to you.
