All the parts are generic and you can get them at Radio Shack. Here's the type of microswitch I used:

Also the LEDs I used were 6v blue LEDs but they both stopped working so I will need to come up with something else. I picked these LEDs because they would work with the my BEC's voltage for easy wiring. Also they were too dim to be seen easily by the FPV cam. I will update soon with the improved version.
