Good point!
Also, you can bypass the onboard switch altogether by providing power to the
unit through a different pin. See page 37 of the manual, Figure 3.2b.
Basically, you provide + to the "V+" pin (3rd from the left if you're looking
at the back of the unit with the pin end up, or on top) and - to the "G" pin
(5th from the left if you're looking at the back of the unit with the pin end
up, or on top). The board should be labeled. The "+9" pin is the one that
uses the onboard switch, Figure 3.2a. Check out the Defy Gravity website if
you don't have the documentation:
http://defyg.com/control_support.html
If you run into them at a launch, you might also see if Kurt G. or Allen F.
might be able to help, as they have lots of experience with Control.

Hey Jeff,
If you did like I did, hooked it up and it
didn't work, try turning on the power switch. It really makes a difference ;^)
But then if you did this then you were just one unlucky purchaser that got a
bad
one.

I've had a control since the month it came out... but somehow it
was DOA and I just never got it fixed. That was like 5 years ago or
so..

If you have a flight computer you need no addtional
electronics. As
an example Control has 4 chanels, you can use two for
dual deploy, one
for airstarts and the last for 'chute release with no
addtional
systems.
