So I'm doing a little pre-planning on my 3" Black Darkstar with the avionics bay.

I bought this switch from Aerocon:

So my question is this:
I was thinking about surface mounting it on the V band. It seemed easier than the various methods of poking through a vent hole to access a switch, plus I'm not hugely concerned with altitude on this one, so a little extra drag is no big deal to me. I was thinking about trying to countersink it a bit though. Has anyone ever tried to do this? What bit would you use? Are there any potential problems I'm not thinking of?
