PicoSwitch - Magnetic RC On-Off Switch for batteries with RC plugs

use these on all my aerotow models- just so easy. if anything goes wrong they default to ON. no fumbling for hidden switches inside canopies. magic

Used in F5B. Use it without leaving the power harness to switch on after all the preparations for the flight. Only products that can ensure reliability and safety can be used.

Decided to spruce up my Wasabi. Recently realised the benefits of these switches, so removed the old slider switch, glassed the inside and micro ballooned the hole. I was painting the fuselage anyway, so now looks nice and neat. Switch ultra reliable and Neil's service A1

Very good service and very good products
You can always rely on Hyperflight for useful stuff that does what it say it will do

Excellent units that mean no switches or holes to let water in. All done by magnet/s. Would be good to find a charging system that can be done similarly. J

Great switch, I use it on my model yacht saves removing the cover every time. I just glued it under the carbon fibre hatch. I wish the magnet cam in a holder or on a string. I used red heat shrink to make a tube but I still lose it.

Being an early steam yacht it has traditional rigging to secure masts. The pico switch enables me to switch on electronics without removing the rigging.
Super bit of kit

works just perfect

Simple straightforward what more do you want

Great small magnetic on off switch that fits nice and works well! Mounted in a small glider.

Perfect for installing in a PSS Hurricane to avoid having an unsightly switch on the ouside of the fuz. Works well.

Very useful for a hidden receiver switch/ works well

I bought this magnetic switch to fit to a model yacht.when i turn up at the club i plug in the battery to the switch then seal down the deck patch .from then on i can switch the receiver on and off with the magnet which is supplied.fantastic unit

Works OK as described

Brilliant service as always form Neil at Hyperflight even across the pond to me in the US. The switch works great and is light and small!

The best way to turn on and off my F3F gliders once on the slope.
The easy single swipe to turn on and the dright LED can be seen through the fiberglass nose cone.
And the 4 second delay to turn off is an extra safety feature against accidental turn off.
Awesome swithch, l have them in all my glider, bought more than 10.... A1+

I have these switches in all of my gliders to ease the issue of power control, l like the easy way they can be mounted in almost any position, remembering to keep them away from the servo’s.
The ease of switching on instantly with just a swipe, but the safety of the “hold for 4 seconds” feature means, no accidental switch off during launches.
Great device......A1+

A brilliant device, East to fit and use. I have fitted it to a radio controlled oo gauge locomotive. Works a treat

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Been using door alarm switches for while but they don't stand up to the current draw for long.
Just installed one of these into my Micro Magic sailboat and it works perfectly so far.
No more rusty switch failures!
Should be more of a boon in my Victoria, since I have to tape that hatch shut, and it is a pita to untape and retape.
I ordered one for each of my 3 sailboats. A bit pricey but no moving parts, should last forever. Delivery to Canada was quick, no complaints, a happy customer.

Bought as a back up due to mine occasionally being faulty. It takes a bit of getting used to but seems to work as it should. I might have found the fault on my old switch and fixed it. More than happy to use this one as a replacement if necessary.

Not used in anger yet have only just installed inside a carbon fibre hull but it appears to work very well - you just have to be patient and hold for 3 seconds and not be too hasty to get going. Certainly much better than leaving battery permanently connected or having to remove a hatch covering to disconnect.

small light en easy to use. more than happy

I purchased the PicoSwitch with an Elf from HyperFlight.

Excellent service from HyperFlight as it arrived here in Australia in just 5 business days.

This is a great little switch that changes state by passing a magnet near the switch. Flashing light clearly indicates the current state.

Very easy to use and reliable. I did find that it turns on quite easy by just passing the supplied magnet near the switch. Turning off however is a little more tricky and it takes me a few attempts to finally have the power switched off.

I tried them today in 2 F3F gliders and they seem to work very well. I like the idea of having to hold the magnet close to the switch for 3 or 4 seconds before it turns off, sure make those accidental swipes harder to make.
