INSTALLING THE SPINNER.

The propeller should not touch any

part of the spinner cone.  If it does, use a
sharp modeling knife and carefully trim
away the spinner cone where the propel-
ler comes in contact with it.

2) Using a 3/32” drill bit, drill a hole through

the side of the fuselage, opposite the muffler,
even with the switch.

3) Make a push-pull lever out of scrap wire.

Attach the wire to the switch lever and route
the wire out the side of the fuselage, through
the hole you drilled.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH.

1) Install the switch into the precut hole in

the servo tray, in the fuselage, from the bot-
tom.  Use the two screws provided with the
switch to secure it in place.  Drill two 3/32”
holes through the tray for the screws to pass
through.

Some switches come with a hole

drilled through the switch tab for this very
purpose.  If your switch does not, remove
the switch and drill a 3/32” hole through
the middle of the switch tab.
