RE: Dual Switch
Check out the dual rocker switches at Madison componenets, I have 5 or 6 that I have used for quite some time with no failures or issues. They also have a version with a little blinking LED that lets you know your switch is left on.

RE: P 38 Help 1st Twin
FWIW I have had/have several twins and my rules are: (1) Use well broken in engines that are known to be reliable: (2) When tuning them, adjust the slowest engine first, then adjust the faster one DOWN to it. Engines running a bit rich are ok as long as they as they will reliably respond to a missed approach throttle up. test this by making a simulated low throttle approach and then apply "go around power" and make sure the engines both respond without bogging down or flaaming out: (3) Being perfectly in synch is not real important. Engines within 500 rpm of each other will do ok and they tend to synch in flight: (4) When tuning and you think you are ready to go, have a helper operate the throttles while you hold the nose vertical for 30 seconds or so at full power. An engine that might go lean and flame out on the take off may reveal itself. Nothing is worse than a "flame out" duing take off: (5) Let the model gain plenty of speed on the take off run, A flame during lift off at slow speed is almost always fatal to the model, it will snap roll into the dead engine before you know what is going on: (6) Be comfortable using rudder, it is your best friend with a dead or dying engine.: (7) other stuff I have forgotten but you might consider an alternate model from a 38 for your first try. I have had a 38 and they are a bit hot and unforgiving

RE: Patterns from prints made easy
Use freezer paper to print out the copy, print on the paper side and then iron the part onto the wood using the plastisized side. Paper will stick when you cut it but peels off easily after the part has been cut out.

RE: Surprising source of radio interference
If it is near the magneto and it is unshielded wire you can get induced voltage in any wire. Moving magnetic field + wire = generator.

RE: Surprising source of radio interference
!f any wire/conductor is in close proximity to a moving magnet, like a weed whip magneto magnet, it may generate a current flow into the conductor. maybe you had a "parasitic generator" [:D]

RE: Best glow engine for 20 pound biplane?
The original question was "Best glow engine for a 20 pound biplane". I fail to see how a mocking commentary directed at those of who reponded contributes much to the discussion. By the way, I also have gas engines, both have their place but depending on what you are trying to accomplish, glow may be a better choice. Not everthing is based on operating cost.
