Re-Locating the On/Off switch

Couldn't stand the simple task of switching the on/off switch under the cowling, so I moved it to the bottom next to the pull starter.

Anyone else move thiers to an easier location?and one more thing "DON'T BE AFRAID!"

I think that is the best location I ever saw it. Did you need to remove any parts and disassemble the frames in order to put the switch there? Did you cut a slot on the carbon?

I ended up attaching an extension rod to my switch, but your solution seems better.

Thanks for sharing.It's easy to find an excuse to do wrong. Hard is not to find an excuse to do right.

Thanks!!
I didn't have to relocate noth'n, but remove the landing gear, witch holds the switch/plate in place.
I cut the slot in a piece of carbon sheet to fit the switch with a drummel tool.

and one more thing "DON'T BE AFRAID!"

Battery switch operation

heres my fix - works really well, a rod through the stock switch postion, a couple of plastic covered tags around some tygon fuel line supporting the rod at the back end with a Robbe canopy knob screwed onto the thread.

Stock switch location

ya sorry the switch is in the stock location - all I did was add a remote extension via a rod through the hole in the switch lug, it results in a very tidy easy to get at means of switching outside the canopy and away from the muffler
