Control_Panel v1.0
Control_Panel a Remote Timer Interface
What It Is
Control_Panel is a compact package consisting of a start switch and super bright status indicator light. Visible from 60 ft away even on a sunny day. It is intended to simplify the installation of a remotely mounted user interface for use with CircuitFlyer inspired active/governor timer systems.
The electrical components are attached to a printed circuit board for easy mounting on the fuselage surface. For full fuselage model airplanes, the Control_Panel mounts on the inside with the pushbutton switch and LED protruding through two small holes in the fuselage wall for a clean exterior appearance.
A version of the Control_Panel is also available with shorter style components for mounting on the exterior of profile fuselage model aircraft.
The installation kit also includes appropriate connectors and wires to join the Contol_Panel to the timer. Soldering skills will be required to splice the wires together at the custom length necessary for your installation.
