Richard, Let me check what we have in the larder :) Ian From: roc-chat-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:roc-chat-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of R Dierking Sent: Friday, August 15, 2014 10:20 PM To: roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [roc-chat] Re: Electronics bay power switch options I think they may be available through Richard Dierking Rockets. He's a big fan of HP sauce BTW. Just need a diagram. ________________________________ From: ian.walberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ian.walberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [roc-chat] Re: Electronics bay power switch options Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 04:16:54 +0000 Richard, I like the internal mounting option of these switches. Anyone know where to get an aluminum mounting bracket/plate that will work for these? Thanks Ian From: roc-chat-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:roc-chat-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:roc-chat-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of R Dierking Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2014 11:17 AM To: roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [roc-chat] Re: Electronics bay power switch options Yeah, they are the best. I did a little abuse test on these switches and they are very durable/reliable. There's a positive 'click' when you turn the slotted head with a screwdriver. Can be surface mounted on the airframe tube or internally mounted on a board (attached photo) with a hole through the tube to access the switch.

I have previously used both external switches or internal with an access hole and never been completely happy with either for different reasons. So what have you used and where can you get the switches you used? Thanks Ian
