box (to absorb any moisture that may enter), then position
the receiver battery and receiver into the radio box in the
front of the servos.

10. Remove the switch plate from the receiver switch.

Attach the switch to the Switch Mounting Plate using the
two screws that were provided with the switch.

11. Position the switch assembly in the radio box.

Depending on your choice of radio, the switch may mount
differently than shown. Approximate the location of where
the switch will attach and drill a hole using a 3/16" [4.8mm]
drill bit. Secure the switch using the Switch Retainer.

12. Place the Switch Actuator onto the switch with the

hole in the actuator facing towards the radio box side. Slide
the  Switch Actuator Lever into the hole in the switch
retainer and thread the lever into the actuator.

Note: Inspect the joint between the upper and lower hull. If
there are any areas that are not securely glued, use
medium CA to glue them together. If there are any large
gaps where water could enter the hull, use Shoe-goo to fill
these gaps.

1. Locate the four 7/8" x 1/4" x 1/4" [22mm x 6mm x 6mm]

Hardwood Blocks. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the blocks
in the locations shown in the photo.
