and model kit hobbyist here
« on: June 27, 2008, 09:52:31 PM »
don`t know if that`s the right hobby
I need to make a remote power switch for a fan i made to wear inside my shirt so I don`t over heat while working .
it`s a computer fan powered by a 9v battery.
I need it to be remote so I don`t need to have wires coming out of my shirt.

the things that pop into my mind while watching ironman is crazy
I even finally figure out how to make a battery powered warmer

I`ve never done model kits
so I don`t know if such a switch even exist.

You might buy a cheap remote controll car and tear the recever and actuators out of the car?

gonna look at the links 1st to see which is cheaper to do
I thought cheap car way sounds ,but realize it might be more costly than just getting the unit.
