Installing the Engine
The engine bay comes with the engine rails,
tailpipe, and smoke tube factory installed. The rails
are made to accept various engine installations
with minor trimming. This installation features the
Jet Cat P-100RX, other installations will be
accomplished using the same steps with minor
variations.
 Prepare the engine and engine mount. The
standard P-100RX mount supplied with the
engine is used in this prototype. Use the #6
Truss Head screws provided from BVM to
secure the engine.
 Set the engine and mount in place, get
familiar with the next few steps before
proceeding.
 Consult your engine manufacture for the
distance between the bellmouth and the
tailcone of the engine. A distance of 5/8” is
used with the P-100RX as shown.
Note: The engine mounting rails will require
trimming for the engine mount to sit on the
rails.
 Not shown in these steps, but use a F.O.D. screen.
