Post subject:  momentary trim switch

I was just on ebay, looking for a switch for the trim, I just ordered the grainger motor as another member had posted.

I saw a switch for a power mirror and thought , hey now thats a great idea, to have the aileron and elevator trim in one place... has anyone tried this?

Any thoughts on this please......

also the micro switches... would any micro switch work for this?

You can get a (4) way "Coolie Hat" trim switch.

Spruce. I think you can get one direct from Ray Allen ? Maybe Chief Aircraft or Wicks ?

I made my own, but I made everything. Easier to check Digi-Key catalog, page 20, or search "4 way switch". They're about $12.

I picked up a five way......elevator, aileron, and .....PTT from Mouser on-line for less than $3. This is a single pole momentary switch so a little electronic magic is necessary to reverse the elevator trim motor and work the aileron servo.
