Landing gear rocker switch upgrade?

[ciollika]

I have a Eagle HT with stock landing gear. My switch has to be depressed to extend/retract, and as most of you know the gear is painfully slow. Has anybody found a switch that can be clicked to stay in the extend/retract position, so you don’t have to physically depress it the whole time?

I just ordered one if it works I’ll report back. I bought a 4 pin on-off-on Rocker switch.

The type of switch that I believe is there is a momentary on-off- momentary on type dpdt switch. one side is wired normal polarity the other side is wired in reverse polarity so the motor will reverse.

You need to find one that is the same type except to replace the momentary on with a sometimes called "catching on" or just plain on for both sides of the switch.

Also due to its location you want to make sure it is rated first for the proper power rating needed and second make sure it meets the spec IP68 for dust and water sealing
