Beware toggle switches - I was looking for something better than a press button for the Starter. I settled for an OFF-ON with a with spring return to OFF. It had MS spec so I thought that that was as good as it gets - wrong . One day it failed to return to off without me noticing. I actually got off the ground with the starter engaged. I was aware that all was not well so I landed and taxied all the way to the hangar before a scan of the panel found the culprit the penny dropped- enough said.

Hi guys Thanks for the help with finding a toggle switch, it looks like I will be able to get what I am looking for albeit at a price. I was asked what I need it for and somebody suggested using a Cessna mag switch. I need it for a plane I am building with a revmaster motor on it. I have fitted it with a homebrew dual, totally redundant electronic ignition system and I want to use the switch to switch between the two systems without passing through an "off" position. The motor will run on both systems under normal conditions but I need to be able to isolate one at a time to do in-flight checks. I could easily use two standard single pole, single throw on/off toggle switches but there is always the possibility of confusion. A Cessna mag switch will not work because for a mag "on" is actually an open contact where I need a closed contact for "on" I have considered a rotary switch but I dislike them and would rather put some effort into finding a toggle switch that will do what I need it to do. My thinking was to supply power to the "special order" toggle switch via a normal DPST toggle switch which will supply each system's power from its own battery and use the "special order" switch do select which ignition I would like to use/isolate. That way, once I have switched on the ignition power switch, no matter what I do with the selector switch there is no chance of inadvertently switching the motor off. I will put a guard over the power switch.. Regards Dene Collett Avlec Projects cc Port Elizabeth South Africa

Almost sounds like you're looking for a magneto switch for a dual-mag configuration Easiest way to get one, is to buy a 2nd-hand Cessna key ignition off of Ebay (Off-Both-L-R) On 11/23/2011 8:00 PM, Dene Collett wrote: > Guys, after taking a look through the AS&S catalogue today and not finding > what I need I have decided to try the vast knowledge pool here. > I am looking for a double pole toggle switch that has three switch > positions.

If you want to use a toggle switch you may have to use two switches. 1 on 2 on both on both offand old rotary mag switch would work.
