I use Molex plugs everywhere, so im not trying to use a #1phillips in the field, or worse, a 1/8" flat screwdriver.
Do you use a pigtail off the molex and solder to that?

I believe in simplicity and ease of use.
If you have to take apart and assemble your ebay every launch, good luck with that.
All I have to do is remove old charges and install new ones.

Are your batteries accessible outside of your ebay? Do you test them between flights to ensure you have enough juice for the next flight? I use 9v batteries and replace them after each flight whether it's needed or not. I open the ebay after each flight to do this as they are tied to the sled. Not worth the risk for a couple bucks, IMO. Not sure why the "good luck with that" comment. This is not difficult or time consuming work.

Not sure what you are asking? I put a screw switch in series with the pull pin switch. Screw switch keeps everything off while you close up the bay and load charges, etc. Just before you do final assembly of the rocket, insert the pull pins that keep things off and turn on the screw switches. I access my screw switches through the booster coupler area, just below the switch band. When you are at the pad, just pull the pins.When using pull pins, how do you set that up so that you can inserting before closing your bay? Any kind of diagram or photo would be very helpfull. Thank you.
