Dear Nigel Charles

I am in Fred Klein's class and never knowingly looked carefully at  a micro
-switch - if someone could post a photo of the switch in its location on th
e leg we, and I guess, a number of others would now have the full tutorial!

  Simple wire run....wire from main buss to 1 amp circuit breaker or fuse, 
then wire from CB/fuse to microswitch at the outrigger, wire from the micro
switch to green light inside cockpit, wire from green light to ground. Dupl
icate using same CB/fuse, run out to microswitch on the other wing and then
 run back to a second green light.

    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 chewin
g 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 placeme
nt of the microswitch was decided on such that its lever arm would be fully
 depressed once the latch was engaged.
