Now all Magnetic Switchs comes with a sticker.
Put it on the fuselage just above the Switch. With this sticker it will be easy to locate the switch and turn the plane on and off.
The sticker is made of a ultra thin material, to keep aerodynamic drag to a minimum.
Size is 14 x 43 mm and thickness is approximately 0.05 mm
Coming soon. Battery pack specially designed for UAV endurance applications. High energy lightweight Lipo Battery.

I constantly look for better components for my switches. I want them to stay as the best and most stable on the market. I found a German quality cable from www.muldentalelektronik.de
It is my opinion that they make some of the best cables in the world. All Magnetic Switchs will now be made with this cables. In the long term it may lead to a price increase, but for now the price will remain the same.
Everything you need for getting started with this smart magnetic power switch. For 100 euro you get
5 Magnetic switch including magnet Link
1 Smart Magnet Holder Link
At the following competitions it will be possible to get a demo or buy a Magnetic Switch.

Many users and potential buyers of the magnetic switch is afraid of losing the magnet. And it is also understandable, the magnet is the key. Without it, it’s hard to switch on and off the plane.
This is why I created the Smart Magnet Holder. This solution can be clipped to your jacket or pants. The magnet is mounted on 75cm line with auto roll up.
That way you’ll always know where your magnet is.
I have been looking on the temperature specifications of the components I use in the Magnetic Switch.
It turns out that I’ve been very careful when I determine the operating temperature range for the Switch (-10C to +50C). Because all the components can handle down to minus 40 degrees Celsius.
The new operating temperature range is (-40C to +50C).
So if there is someone who wants to go out and fly in extreme cold. They should not worry about the functionality of my magnetic switch.
Remember to bring warm clothes ;0)
I have for a long time been tired of carrying cables up to our training slope. Therefore I have upgraded our time system with two RF transmitter to the buzzer.
The response time is approx 3/100sec which is reasonably fast.
The transmitter is equipped with two buttons. One for the buzzer and the other to call for help, line judge error or replacement of the line judge.
The system has error detection that notifies you if there have been just the slightest signal error.
Range should be more than enough, and the system is fully compatible with our rc gear.
Version 3 is fully developed. We are looking forward to see how the field test goes.
The magnetic switch is now in mass production. The quality is top notch
Now I’m ready for danish championship.
I’ve been in Hanstholm to train and test a new setup this weekend.
Has made the plane more tail heavy and are very happy with the new setup.
So now it will be interesting to see how it’s performs next weekend.
