The wire on the 'one wire' side plugs into the receiver. On the other side the male connector is for charging and the female connector goes to the battery.
Hmmm I tried that and the Receiver wouldn't get powered when I flipped the switch to on... Then I pluged the other wire into the receiver (the side with two wires) and then the switch works. it turns the receiver on and off but then only wire that's left is the lonely one on one side. That when plugged in just turns the receiver lights on faintly.

I get the feeling the switch I bought is toast
When hooked up were the single wire goes to the receiver does it power up by turning the switch off?
If you have it wired backwards it will be turning on when you turn the plane off, to be sure take the sitch out and make sure what you have labelled as on is indeed suppose to be on. The switch should be marked on the switch intself under the backplate.
Once I get home, I will write the hookup in more detail . I'm just trying to avoid spending $10 right now .

I wonder if it's soldered wrong or something, in which case I might just have to resolder the points (My soldering is pretty good).
