Alot of you rocketeers use this rotary switch on your HPR rockets. It typically is mounted through the wall of the vent coupler if there is one & thru the side of the ebay.
I like them because they are flush to the rocket and can only be armed with a small screwdriver or coin to turn it. My question is because it looks permanently fixed to the
rocket fusilage & AV bay how are they internally wired so you can still slide the electronics sled out of the AV bay without the leads being broken or pinched? Up until now I
always used a screw switch mounted on the sled that was accessed thru the vent ports. But they have broken off the sled on occasion & we sure don't want that to happen on an
L3 attempt. This looks alot more solid.
