John, didn't you just replace that switch not too long ago, or needed
info on wiring it???

John, seems like too many things went wrong during their time there.
Was there a little devil in the group?

Let's see
Forrest blade 134
Switch 50-200
Plane $425
New tire $30

you had a very expensive day....

The project took me about 220 hours spread over a number of months... Much
of it I worked on alone. It's the same switch as discussed about a year ago.
During the project before that it was giving me grief. Once I got into this
project it was worse. After cleaning it with contact cleaner, adjusting it,
etc. it still didn't work so I replaced it. The plane accident happened near
the end of the project.

As I recall the switch was $150 so yes it was an expensive project. However,
the tire and switch failures during the project were a coincidence. They
could have failed on the next project or the project after that... so they
don't count against the project! I believe I can fix the plane to full
function even if it doesn't have that "factory" look any more.
