The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

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

 

[acerc]

Yes!!!!

 

[Snoopy1]

Yes!!!!

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

 

[acerc]

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.

 

[acerc]

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.
