XK brand X8 Transmitter - Single Button Kill Switch Mod

(Music by Dave Fenley:    • Dave Fenley - "Into The Mystic" by Va...  ) This is my fix to a problem I experience flying my X520 and X420 vertical take-off and land aircraft. The X8 that comes with the X520 VTOL is superior in almost every way to the cheesy X4 transmitter that comes with the smaller X420. The X8 CAN be used with either aircraft. But the X4 has one advantage, a superior motor kill switch set-up. The X4 has 2 buttons on top of the case that must be pressed at the same time to cut power after an intentional (or unintentional) landing. Not the best set-up, but it allows you to fly the plane down all the way to the ground and then kill power right at ground contact to save prop tips if it falls over (a common issue with these XK craft). The X8 transmitter however requires one to push a pair of buttons low on the case and below the sticks. The only way I have been able to access them is to let go of the sticks with both hands shortly before touchdown. I really do not like that one bit. In a breeze or higher wind I need to have control of the aircraft to counter unwanted movement and descend straight down on the intended spot. What I need is a single kill button accessible via my left hand while I fly the craft with my right. The left stick handles roll control on a vertical axis when hovering and can be let go with no problems. The gyros will keep it steady. I just need pitch and yaw control via the right stick to maintain left/right/fore/aft motion to counter any side forces and land on-spot. This video shows my solution. Here are links to example DPDT momentary contact switches like that I used. It has 2 separate switch circuits to keep the photo button and stick mode button isolated from each other. The NC (Normally On) side is a closed circuit that opens when the button is pushed and stops when released, and the NO (Normally Open) side allows current to flow when pushed. The latter side of the switch is the one you need to put to use. Here are links to my switch source and a distant one overseas. If you do not mind waiting a MONTH or so, then used the second link for a Chinese source that offers similar switches much cheaper. I paid more to get mine in a week locally..... I'm BORED, dang-it! If you have a local electronics supply like a still-stocked FRYS, try them first.
