How to Mount Kill Switch??
Hello. Im new to gasoline engines and have a Zenoah G45. I recently purchased the Zenoah kill switch [link=http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=ZEN20000]http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=ZEN20000[/link]
Okay this sounds like i really dont know what im doing but see the Connector that looks like a christmas light?? I know where that plugs into. The other one (metal thing that kinda looks like a fork) I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IT GOES!! I read the engine instructions and the switch instructions only tell you how to mount it on the fuselage. Thanks in advance for help.

That goes to a ground. That is how that type of kill switch works, it grounds out the circuit and kills the motor. Are you using a metal motor mount, if you are then that would go to one of the bolts.

Make sure the switch is easy to get to, what plane are you putting this in? Are you going to use a servo for the choke? You want to make sure you have more than 1 method of killing the motor.
