Howdy all,
I'm going to put a Raven screw switch in my dual deploy rocket to replace the slide switch it came with. My main question is do you solder the wires to the switch directly? You must have to use a low power soldering iron and small dia solder, yes? I suppose I could bolt the wires to the larger holes, but I think that unless you use ring terminals, the chance for shorts would be very high. My other thought is just solder the wires to the bigger holes (but I would still need low power soldering iron and small dia solder) and hot glue the switch into the airframe hole.
Thoughts, suggestions, criticisms?
Adrian
