for this purpose. Important: The interior of the fuselage must be sealed to prevent damage from

Ignition
Consideration needs to be given to the placement of the electronic ignition module. Avoid placing
the module in the path of hot air. Mount the ignition module using the four supplied rubber grommets
so as to create a 1/16" gap between the ignition module and the mounting surface. Without this
1/16" gap the ignition module can overheat. Important: If the electronic ignition overheats it will
malfunction (e.g., backfiring or shutting down).

Canister mufflers
To prevent damage to the header(s) a flexible support bracket is required to mount the canister(s).
The location for this bracket should be at the canister's center of gravity. 3W canisters have a
reinforcement ring at this location.
We suggest creating two compartments in the front section of the fuselage by installing a horizontal
tray. Fuel tanks, batteries, and other equipment can be mounted on top of this tray; the canister(s)
