nigel newby Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Just got a new On/Off switch for the Bi-Fly. Went to fit it and the screws are too short when I put the switch through the airframe. Another 1/4 of an inch would have been fine. Anyway took the top off the switch. That's the bit that shows on and off., and put in a couple of washers. But when selling these sort of things they must realise that they will go through a piece of wood or metal, so why not give a bit of allowance for the thickness of the wood.

Ron Gray Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Mount the switch inside the fuz and use a wire pushrod through the fuz side to push/pull it on off. Much less obtrusive that externally mounted switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Berriman Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Well done that man Jim Carss My latest build Pegasus Magician has a thick sided fusalage and just found an old switch with long arm to suit but have three new heavy duty switches that I wanted to fit. Looks like a visit to workshop later to make up assembly Jim Carss appreciation dept Edited By RC Plane Flyer on 02/12/2018 09:21:28 Edited By RC Plane Flyer on 02/12/2018 09:22:01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel newby Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Well as the plane is already built and not have any longer screws this is how I ended up fitting it. Also there is no hole in switch tab to put a bit of wire in as a push pull set up. Edited By nigel newby on 02/12/2018 09:56:29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it's positioned correctly! Plus if it's push = ON then even more unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
