Slide one main gear wheel onto each end of the axle. Secure the
wheels into place, using two wheel collars and two M3 x 5mm machine
screws.

We suggest applying Blue Threadlocker to the machine screws to prevent them from loosening during flight.

The references in the next few procedures are taken from the consideration that you are looking at the front of
the fuselage with the fuselage right-side-up. The engine will be mounted upright.
These instructions show the installation of a two-stroke engine. If you are installing a four-stroke engine, the installation
procedures are the same. The main things to be sure of are that your engine is centered on the firewall and that the bottom of
your engine does not come into contact with the top of the engine mounting platform.
If you are installing an electric powerplant, you can skip this section entirely, although you may decide to utilize the engine
mounting beams and hardware included to install your electric motor.
❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, carefully measure and draw a vertical
centerline on the front of the firewall.
☞
A builder's triangle makes this much easier and more accurate.
