I am planning to put lights into a T-Rex 600 size MD-500E fuselage.
I want to create a connector arrangement so that when the front canopy is put on (with strong magnets!) the connection for the front (nose) light and the underbody beacon/strobe is automatically made - and kept!
There needs to be three connections. I envisage something like a flat non-conductive plate with three flat connection points, in brass, on one side. On the other side three 'spring loaded', possibly leaf, contacts. A bit like (if anyone recalls) the connections to the tailgate on the original BMW 2002 Tourer.
If anyone has any ideas for suitable components (particuarly the sprung leaf part) it would be much appreciated.
