3. If you installed a glow engine a cutout is provided for
the receiver on/off switch on the left side of the fuselage. This 
cutout is sized for a Futaba mini switch harness (FUTM4370). 
If you are installing a different sized switch, you may need to 
modify the opening to accommodate your switch. Install your 
switch by removing the two screws that hold the front switch 
plate to the switch body. Separate the front plate from the 
body and reassemble the switch with it in place in the cutout 
in the fuselage.

dual servo extension (FUTM4130) plugged into the aileron 
channel and another plugged into the fl ap channel. As you

[9.5mm] heat shrink tubing to secure the connection between 
your receiver battery and switch lead. Take a moment to

the servos. We used small tie straps (not included) to do this.

5. A 2" [51mm] piece of plastic tubing is provided for
positioning the receiver antennas in the orientation described 
in your radio’s manual. Cut the piece of tubing into two equal 
pieces if your receiver has dual antennas. Glue the tube halves 
to the side of the fuselage and insert the antenna ends into 
the tubes. The antennas can also be taped in place.

6. The charge lead on the switch harness is used for
charging the receiver battery and for checking battery voltage 
before fl ight. This lead could be mounted on the side of the 
fuselage using a charge lead receptacle. However, since the
