If you have more than four channels you can use a turnigy receiver controlled on/off switch. Like this

Hope that helps.

You just plug it into a open channel on the radio receiver that is linked on the radio to a switch like "gear" or "flaps" then wire the positive lead wire of the device to this switch. When the radio and receiver are on.. it will turn the device on or off via that switch on your radio.

I didn't look at all the links...I used the one Max linked but the concept is the same for a switching device. Sometimes you have to make sure the gear or flap is linked from the channel on the receiver to your radio and also you may have to make sure the radio is turning it on/off. The great thing is most all of these radio things..how to.. are on youtube if you ever get stuck and need a visual walk though.

You aren't seriously suggesting we had all the answers before we came here are you?
Why do you think that we urge people to ask questions ?
The stuff I have learned by looking for an answer to an unrelated question would fill another book :lolno:

All I was saying was before we learn something new we all at times may feel "dumb" until we then know how to do whatever it is...by asking..watching..trying etc.
