Default RE: Sig LT-40 Build

Mounted my Du-Bro Kwik Switch & Charging Jack unit last night...



The tray that the switch mounts in sits a touch higher than the ouside faceplate piece so I had to trim off about 1/16" so it would clear the fuselage doubler...



I have this setup as 'in' is on and 'out' is off. Someone mentioned on another thread that they would rather the battery accidentally turn on in transit and die vs someone bumping it before take off with a live engine and having no radio control. They also stated to put a clip on the switch shaft while in transit to prevent accidental powering on. Sounds good to me.

Didn't leave the switch mounted as I still need to add the window decals.

Total build time: 68 hours

P.S. - busy with other stuff for the next two days so no plane work... [:@] DOH!
