Power switch hole patching?

[delta2001]

I am going from 3 power switches to 1 switch. Does anyone have a simple clean way to patch the holes? I had thought about just putting covering over them but I don't have the 2 colors I need. Do they make blank covers? Thanks for any help.

I think you could make your own cover pretty easy if you can't cover them with a covering material. You just need thin plastic and a sharpie. You could use a piece of credit card or a lid from cool whip or something like that. Cut it with scissors or a dremel to the right shape, drill some holes and color it black.

Not sure if they make blanks, but maybe we can help you find the covering you need? What plane and what colors?

The blue and yellow on an extreme flight 88 edge. Just a couple inch squares of each would do it. I would be happy to pay postage if anyone has any.

This is when you find a cool decal of some kind (perhaps 3drcf swag?) to cover the hole with!

Extreme Flight uses UltraCote as far as I know. Figure out what color it is and go to your hobby store (or your online store) and order a "trim sheet" in the same color. These are self adhesive and usually match perfectly.

In fact, I just had a similar problem. I started cutting out a hole for a switch and changed my mind. A patch of trim sheet later and it's almost gone and forgotten. If you use actual iron-on covering material, you'll have a more seamless repair, but then you usually have to buy a whole roll.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I am liking both the decal and trim sheet ideas, both holes are right beside each other. I Think Ill get some and just slap it on there.

I've got an extra 3dhs sticker that would look awesome on there. Pm me your address and I'll mail it to you at no charge
