Has anyone found a source for a good, quality DPDT (mom) off (mom) toggle switch (preferably with a duck bill toggle)?

Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,

I think I got mine at radio shack for a couple of bucks. It has a flat
handle rather than duck bill, but that is close enough.

B & C? They carry lots of the items Bob Nuckolls recommends in his designs.

S700-2-7 (ON)-OFF-(ON) (+ $15.00)

Unfortunately only with a "bat" handle.

Digikey may have flat handled ones but in the ones I've seen where the flat
is plastic the plastic part tends to rotate on the metal shaft after a
while.

Ray Allen Company (known for their trim servos) makes a nice rocker switch
(not a toggle) with two good quality micro-switches inside. The RS2 is only
rated for an amp but the RS2-5 is rated for 5 amps. Because the way the
switches are wired when the rocker is in the center position the motors
windings are shorted which keeps the motor from coasting.

Me and two other 601's in our club are using the S700-2-5 (ON)-OFF-ON. Momentary for the down and maintained for the up. Flaps will turn off automaticly when they hit the up limit switch. When you are ready to retract the flaps just hit the switch. This will free up your hand to do other things instead of holding the switch.

Www.aircraftspecialty.com has a nice aftermarket flap handle that fits over a standard size existing toggle.

Tim,
Bob Nuckolls shows how to make your own flap switch handle.In the 2nd picture he mentions aluminum but I think he meant a type of plastic for the handle.
See the 8,9,10 and 11 pics down,starting with FLAPS1.JPG

I don't think the post worked yesterday, but we make flap handles out of aluminum and powdercoat them. We have sold very many and received lots f positive feedback.
