>But as I read of the operational issues (airspeed at deployment, wear
and tear, lubrication, effects of temperature, etc.), I've had an
increasing appreciation for the value of the microswitch-warning lights
which some builders have installed.
I gotta admit that I am challenged by all things electrical, so I would
humbly ask that someone...someone who can handle wiring diagrams,
warning lights, microswitches, and a digital camera (while skipping rope
and chewing gum at the same time)...please, put together an illustrated
tutorial (in crayon) showing just how this is done.<
The wiring for the outrigger warning lights is very simple. Each light
is connected using a microswitch attached to the outrigger leg. The
placement of the microswitch was decided on such that its lever arm
would be fully depressed once the latch was engaged.
