ENGINE, EXHAUST, & FUEL SYSTEM INSTALLATION:
1. Templates are provided in the kit for both DA and 3W 85 cc engines as well as the DA 100 engine.
Select the proper guide for your engine and mark and drill the mounting holes and cut out the center as
indicated. Notice that the engine center line is offset to the left to compensate for the right thrust built
into the engine box.
2. Place the cowling in place on the fuselage and measure the distance from the firewall to about 1/2” in
front of the cowling. This figure represents the back of the spinner and will help you determine if you
need to space your engine out from the firewall using washers or additional wood. Mount your engine
securely using bolts, washers, and locknuts. The use of thread-lock is also highly recommended for the
engine bolts. The pictures below show the DA85 engine installaation.
3. Mount the ignition module according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The best place to mount it is
on the side or top of the engine box. Secure the pickup lead and ignition wires with zip ties so that they
do not vibrate or touch any hot part of the engine or exhaust. The picture below shows the DA100 engine
