As bonebreak says, Most ARF airplanes are only the airframe. The electrical items (battery,
switch, receiver, and servos) are installed by the builder (you). This way you can have the
peice of mind that you put them in and they are of the quality that you desire. Unless a kit is marketed as "ready to fly" then doesn't include the electrical parts or the motor/engine.

I have the switch from post 1 on a Pulse XT 60. It is a good switch but something that
complicated is not requried. Most switched have three cables coming off of it. One connects
to the battery and one connects to the receiver. The third cable is the charging cord. Most of
the fliers I know have this cord hang out in the wing saddle between the fuselage and the wing.
This way they can check the battery power between flights.

The Pulse XT is a gentile flier but it is not a trainer. Most of the guys I fly with love the
way mine looks in the air and I atribute that mostly to the way it flies and not to my ability
to fly it.
