Mr_Burns Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Gday all. I have see a couple of pits now with the Wing Fold / Hold / Spread and just wondering what people are doing for it. It seems to need a push pull action (is this a two position or three, i.e. pull to turn release to lock) whereby I could use a simple push button switch. Then 3 positions. Honestly for the amount of use it will get I may just do something like the hook with just fold and spread and a push button to lock/unlock. Has any Code been written for DCS Bias, does anyone know what commands that is looking for to operate the lever? Thanks :helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow912 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Hi Mr B. I've made mine using microswitches. I have a piece of aluminium tube with a small round headed screw which activates a microswitch as the handle for the lock is pulled or pushed. Then another pair of microswitches can be activated when the handle is rotated. I have attached a picture of the push/pull switch. If you like I can send more pics?
