Default servo controled switch

I know I could have used a pico switch just as easily. However, I had a bunch of these mini servos from a spektrum radio purchase and a package of radio shack switches. I made a winch servo from a Hitec based on writeup from the forum. However, an in-line switch was needed. I'll control the "mig shift Pico" switch from channel 5 and winch direction from channel 6. I've since mounted in the truck and it works flawlessly...

I did that same thing with my Multiplex (7 Channel Pistol Radio)

one switch to close circuit on the pwr wire to servo (so that I wouldn't have issues with it "walking") and used another channel to work the servo in forward or reverse. The other one is the pictures is for my lights.

Here a link to one on eBay. This is another 7 channel. I had the ProfiCar 403 which was 7 channels too (i believe...if not it was 6 for sure). Channels 3, 4, and 5 could be set up as a 3 position switch.

It's very hard to find these now. I paid $125 for mine brand new.
