Switch for TDR18 receivers

[Larry Fitch]

Can anyone recommend a quality switch to plug into the end of my TDR18 receiver to turn it on and off? Not sure if FrSky makes such a switch these days, but believe they did some time ago. I'm installing the TDR18 in my Thermic XXXL powered glider and need to settle on how to switch power on and off.
Thanks,
Larry

Something like this?

FrSky Audio Jack Switch

This switch uses a 3.5mm audio jack to turn on or off your FrSky Devices. Works with Archer plus/ Tandem/ Twin Receiver with 12 or more channels.

Thanks Wayne. I now have 4 on order.

I love the audio Jack switch. I use it in both my glow-sized extra and in my quarter scale decathlon.

OK, got the audio plug switches from Aloft today. Thanks Wayne. Next question, what happens if I use 2 LIFE batteries plugged into the receiver, and the ESC throttle lead plugged into channel 3 of the receiver? The Neu motor will be powered with a 6S LiPo. I guess the ESC will power the receiver. Is it as simple as removing the positive from the throttle lead from the ESC? I don't want to let the magic smoke out of the receiver or ESC.
