4. Connect the ignition module battery to the kill switch. Any
4.8- 8.4 V, 1000 mAh and above capacity battery will work well for

this. Use heat shrink tubing to secure this connection. Optional:
Install the TX activated gas engine kill switch (DLEG9205) between
the manual on/off switch and the ignition as shown above. This is
especially important during the starting sequence as it requires
the manual on/off switch to be in the ON position before ignition
can occur. The kill switch LED should be installed on the exterior of
the aircraft so that it’s visible from the front of the aircraft. This is to
ensure that the person starting the engine is aware that the ignition
is armed. If properly installed as shown above, an illuminated red
LED indicates that that the ignition is armed.

5. Install the ignition on/off switch on the aircraft so that it is easily

accessible through the cowling or the fuselage.

6. Install the ignition module
and battery securely in the
airplane forward area. It is

recommended that a thin
piece of foam rubber is
placed between the module
and the mounting surface
and that Velcro

®

strap is used

to hold the module in place.

7. Install the remaining silicone wire cover over the ignition wire.

8. Install the spark plug into the engine head (7– 8 lbs torque). Do

not overtighten.
