RV-8 70cc FLS Instructions

Quique’s Tips (continued):
o
For the most linear throttle response, adjust the throttle linkage length to balance the end
points for your throttle servo. You do NOT want your end points to be mismatched (example:
60/120). Get your end points as close to one another as possible (example: 114/116) for the
most linear throttle response.

1.
Remove the plywood structure on the fuselage, just below the motor box and behind the
throttle servo mounting location by pushing with your fingers. If this does not push out
easily, you can trace the shape with a sharp #11 hobby knife to make it easier to remove.
Regardless of the exhaust system used, this must be removed for proper cooling.

2.
The engine mounting locations for the DA-60 is laser-etched into the firewall for your
convenience. If using a different mounting pattern, the “+” represents the engine
crankshaft. Use a 1/8-inch drill bit and drill to create a pilot hole in the center of the four
bolt hole etchings in the firewall. Use a 5/16-inch drill bit to enlarge these holes. Verify
that the hole is large enough to accommodate the blind nuts which will be installed in
the next step.
