High Curent Switch for Electric Aircraft

 

When flying electric powered radio control aircraft it is handy to switch the power on and off. This is extra necessary when there is no access to the battery except for removing the wing. A switch capable of handling the high current used in RC applications would be very heavy.

The attached diagram illustrates using a Dean's Ultra Plug as a switch. This switch is capable of high current and does not weigh very much.

If you can't find the "key" it is easy to bypass the switch.
