Clear as mud :crazy:

I thought the HT unit came with 5 pin connector plugged into the right one and the micro switch 2 pin plugged into the flying connector off the 5 pin plug.

- Mmm , I'm going to ask one of the Stug ( + Jagdpanther ? ) owners , i believe the flash/recoil + microswitch is one of the options they have .

Update.

Bit longer than expected due to first shop not having stock so had to reorder elsewhere else.

Result, plugged in and worked. (As I mentioned my airsoft already had the micro switch). Just need to figure a way to put it all together.

I found this mod

For the infra red version, airsoft still need a micro switch.

Managed to install the flash unit. 8)

Found when I disconnected the airsoft from the cannon, there is a metal tube up the cannon. Removed this and that left a gap so could feed flash and wires. Bit of tape over the BB loader channel all put back together.

I try taking video later, and uploading.
