For the choke lever, I like to reach in from the cooling opening at the bottom of the cowl: this is an easy push-pull operation that does not haev to be interfered with every time the cowl is removed.

The ignition is installed with Velcro on the cover for the top of the motor box. The ignition will be inside the motor box.
The spark plug wires, wrapped in a slotted accordion tube, will come out through holes cut in the sides of the motor box

To make a clean cut hole for the ignition led, a brass tube with a sharpened end is used for coring.
I used a hot glue gun to secure the led from the inside: if it need to be removed, it will just take a little heat.

The fuel dot is installed: my favorite fuel dot is the McFueler. It look great, never comes lose, and the bit that goes into the fuel tubing can rotate freely never putting a twist into the fuel line.

The receiver switch is installed: it is a magnetic switch that is fail safe, and will plug into the Smartfly Sport Plus board.

The pull-pull rudder servo is installed.
The Smartfly Sport Plus will be in front of it, screwed onto small wooden rails glued to the floo.
