Call JD at Infinity. He'll sell you the switches and a modified socket to get the top nuts off the switches that are deeply recessed into the grips.

I just swapped out the switch on the rear stick as I've had several cases of the switch getting bumped in the up position accidentally and finding myself without flaps on landing. (I have a limit switch rigged to the flaps that cuts out the circuit in the full up position.)

In the 8, it takes some real contortions to get your finger on that rear stick in flight!
To quote that great aviator, Homer Simpson..."D'oh!!!"

GREAT idea...will give JD a call and swap the switch out.

Is there soldering involved? How involved is doing the changeout? Like I said, electricity is not my strong suit, and I desperately do not want to let the expensive smoke out of any motors, boxes, controls, etc.

Thanks!

Rob
