A Moment of Boredom


Recommended Posts

Flying a Multiplex Heron using the Aux 2 toggle switch for motor control I've found myself inadvertently hitting the rate switch, even though they are different in profile and length, instead of the motor switch, so in a moment of boredom and the lack of funds to upgrade to a Voice Alert Tx (although it wouldn't stop me hitting the wrong switch) I've modded the toggle switch.

An old Perkins fuel line stopper

A circle of coarse grit, some silicone fuel line and heatshrink tube.

Slide the heatshrink over the tube, glue the circle of coarse grit paper to the top of the stopper and push into the tube. Shrink the heatshrink and trim the bottom .

It's a snug and firm fit on the toggle switch and is easily removed when not required. A quick fly tonight proved it works for me.
