Hi regiment. All you need is a switching box, which attaches to the receiver and the lights. Operation of the third channel will operate the switch and thus the lights. FLY ( Dave Milbourn) at ACTion has plenty and at good prices..

Oh dear thats me in trouble again......He will never believe it was a typing error......

You can use a microswitch and spare servo, if you have a spare stick operated channel......Now thats me in more trouble with FLJ
