Although today's radios are highly reliable, it is always wise to have an easy access off button. There is the convenience aspect also...
Here is how I did it on my Tiger1. I put a microswitch on the rear wall, that gets activated by pushing on the rear engine grating. Although not red in color, marked "emergency switch" or similar, it is, in fact, even easier to actuate. As long as you know where it is...
The microswitch on the rear wall:
Through the deck, under the grating, I installed this small screw with a nyloc nut on the underside. It can move up and down in its hole.
The screw pushes on the microswitch below:
This is how much it sticks up. Pushing the screw turns the model on and off.
The grating leans a little bit, but nothing that anyone would notice. Just pushing anywhere on it, turns the model on or off. Very convenient!
A couple ideas of how to connect the switch to the electronics have been discussed in an old thread: http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewt ... f=2&t=5504

Re: On/off button/emergency cutoff
My robotics tutor always claimed that a grab cord was always the best but they didn't have to worry about accuracy
Cool looking fans. Presumably they are after market?
