I presume you have AC power in the hangar. I'm also
hoping that the feeder comes off a breaker in your
house. If so, you might consider a product like
this:
https://goo.gl/srUq55
Asoka is not the only supplier of such devices.
These are power line connected cat5 transceivers.
Put one in the house with a jumper to your
router and the second in the hangar.
I've been using these things around here
for several years . . . saved me a lot
of time/effort stringing wire. I've got
a couple of surplus devices I could
send you to experiment with.
But if your hangar doesn't get ac power from
the house distribution panel . . . all bets
are off.

50 feet is nothing to today's routers, if you have windows facing each
other. If you don't, and Bob's power line technique won't work for you,
look at 'Ubiquiti nano station'. I haven't used them myself, but when I
was looking for a solution to a similar problem, they were highly
recommended by some 'linux geeks' who earn their living setting up and
maintaining networks. You need a pair, which will cost around $100.
Power & ethernet to the one on your house, and power/ethernet at the hangar.
You can also do it with a generic router, a generic access point (most
routers can be configured as access points), and another router in the
hangar, but setup can be a pain.

Do a youtube search or internet search for diy wifi antennas. You might
be suprised. csmale@bak.rr.com

Okay . . . Given that this is a permanent
magnet motor - inrush current will be significant.
As a general rule, motors don't play well downstream
of conventional fuses. Also, while the B&C S700
series switches may well demonstrate a 'satisfactory'
service life . . . this application is pushing the envelope.
If it were my airplane, I'd use the S700 switch to
control a relay . . .
Emacs!
and protect the motor drive path with a 30
AMP current limiter . . .
Emacs!
on a DIY holder wired like so . . .
Emacs!
If you like, I've got all these parts in the
junk box . . . yours for the price of a mailing
address.
Otherwise, yeah . . . I think I'd seek out
a bit more robust toggle switch. But keep in mind
that published switch ratings are generally the
'resistive' load value . . . those need to be de-rated
at least by half if not 2/3 for motor loads. So a
30A rated switch would be likely to provide decent
longevity.

Steel Hangar???
Bob,
Thanks, I=99m going to give it a try to extend my network from the
house to the shop out back. I=99d like to extend it to my hangar
but it=99s 15 miles away and, for sure, not on my breaker box.
But if I can get my network out to my shop, I=99ll be a happy
camper.

Thanks for the expert insight Bob. I was concerned about the inrush associated
with the motor. As for your offer of helping to clean out your junk box - count
me in! Any particular email address to send you my mailing info? Thanks
again for sharing your thoughts and taking the time to do so...this list is an
incredible resource!! Cheers :D
