Instruction Manual

Install one adjustable metal connector through the third 

hole out from the center of one servo arm, enlarge the 

hole in the servo arm using a 2mm drill bit to accommo-

date the servo connector. Remove the excess material 

from the arm.

After installing the adjustable metal connector apply a 

small drop of thin C/A to the bottom nut. This will prevent 

the connector from loosening during flight.

 INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

   

1)   

The  stopper  has  been  pre-assembled  at  the 

factory.

  

2)  

Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon 

fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is calculated by 

how the weighted clunk should rest about 8mm away 

from the rear of the tank and move freely inside the 

tank).  Connect  one  end  of  the  line  to  the  weighted 

clunk and the other end to the nylon pick up tube in 

the stopper. 

  

3)  

Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a 45 

degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This tube will 

be the vent tube to the muffler.

  

4)  

Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a 45 

degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This  tube will 

be vent tube to the fueling valve.

When the stopper assembly is installed in the tank, the 

top of the vent tube should rest just below the top sur-

face of the tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.

V. FUEL TANK

  

5)  

Test fit the stopper assembly into the tank. It may 

be necessary to remove some of the flashing  around 

the  tank  opening  using  a modeling knife. If flashing  

is  present,  make sure none of it falls into the tank.

  

6)  

When satisfied with the alignment of the stopper 

assembly tighten the 3mmx20mm machine screw until 

the rubber stopper expands and seals the tank opening. 

Do not over tighten the assembly as this could cause 

the tank to split.

  

7)  

Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of fuel line 

150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2 vent tubes and 1 

line to the fuel pickup tube in the stopper.

  

8)  

Feed three lines through the fuel tank compart-

ment and through the pre-drilled hole in the firewall. Pull 

the lines out from behind the engine, while guiding the 

fuel tank into place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as 

possible, the front of the tank should just about touch 

the back of the firewall.

Blow through one of the lines to ensure the fuel lines 

have not become kinked inside the fuel tank compart-

ment. Air should flow through easily.

  

9) 

To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a bead of 

silicon sealer to the forward area of the tank, where it 

exits the fuselage behind the engine mounting box and 

to the rear of the tank at the forward bulkhead.

Do not secure the tank into place permanently until after 

balancing the airplane. You may need to remove the 

tank to mount the battery in the fuel tank compartment.
