Phoenix Model Dolphin - Final Assembly; Installing the Spinner; Installing the Receiver and Battery; Installing the Switch

3. Secure the switch in place using the two
machine screws provided with the radio system.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH
1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage
side, opposite the muffler, close enough to the
receiver so the lead will reach. Use the face
plate of the switch cut out and locate the
mounting holes.
2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife.
Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two
mounting holes through the fuselage side.
2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the
protective foam to protect them from vibration.
Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the
foam in place.
INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY
1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into
the receiver. You may want to plug an aileron
extension into the receiver to make plugging in
the aileron servo lead easier when you are
installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead
into the switch.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
