Title: RC operated switch for lights on airplane.
Post by: gauravag on July 01, 2009, 11:20:33 AM
Hello everyone,
I was building a scale Cessna 182 .90 size, and was working on putting the landing lights. Now i would like to have these lights work through a transmitter channel. Does anyone know how to build a "switch" that could be mapped to a RX channel, and be used ?
I am sure there would be schematics available, would appreciate if you could point me to one such site, OR if there is a ready made product, just link me to it.

Thanks !
Gaurav

You can get something like http://hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8850  and wire it up to any spare channel on your RX. 

Depending on the capabilities of your radio, you may be able to assign the lights to whatever switch you want (with a bit of programming on the radio).

Read this ..... this is my humble attempt at designing an RC switch. U can control any electronics device with ur RC channel. Its made on a controller so u can actually program strobe lights and flasher into it very simply.
