I read a Mid-Continent manual that advised turning off the gyro 5 minutes before doing aerobatics. I assume the 5 minutes is to let the gyro spin down. I have 3 gyros. I don't want to use 3 switches, but I'm willing to use one 3 pole switch. Any suggestions? Has anyone done this?



I realize a single switch is a single point of failure, but this is one mother of a switch.  And what are the odds of all 3 poles failing at the same time?



P.S. Posted this on VAF too.

  Very small . . .



   . . . and the "ratings" are per pole . . . ANY of the

  Microswitch products is suited to your task.
