This seems like a great idea.  One thing that one has to be careful
with when using non-stock switches (like those from Radio Shack) is
that many are not built to handle the vibrations you get with a model
plane.  Weird things can happen if the switch contacts start vibrating
open and closed at a high rate during flight.  This may be not be a
problem with phono jacks, but I think I would probably be pretty
careful trying this...
