- This seems like a great idea. One thing that one has to be careful
- with when using non-stock switches (like those from Radio Shack) is
- that many are not built to handle the vibrations you get with a model
- plane. Weird things can happen if the switch contacts start vibrating
- open and closed at a high rate during flight. This may be not be a
- problem with phono jacks, but I think I would probably be pretty
- careful trying this...
