Default Looking for a switch that turns lights on with 3rd channel

I see RAM makes one... but for $35 bucks forget it. I thought I saw someone along time ago on another board use a servo or something. Any ideas?

R/C dragsters use a micro (or any size) servo to hit a small pressure switch. You can use a small "push on" switch from radio shack, mount it and then mount the servo next to it. Flip the 3rd channel and it will press against the switch turning what ever its connected to on. Get creative and use 2 switches, one on each side.

Go to Radio Shack and get a small micro switch like this one.

I JB'd one to the side of a micro servo. I set the servo arm so that at full travel the servo arm closes the switch. As it is in the pictures it is at full open.
