Stage 6 — Installing the Engine
Step 28.
On the front of the airplane is the pre-attached engine
mount. Unscrew the engine mounting hardware (engine mount
and clamps) from the engine mount. Retain the hardware as
we’ll be using it to mount the engine in place.
Place the engine on the engine mount and
loosely clamp the
engine in place using the provided mounting hardware.
Note:
The knurled (checkered) side of the clamps faces
down.
Slide the engine as far forward as it will go and center the
engine. Then tighten the screws until they become snug.
Note:
Be sure the screws that hold the clamp over the
engine mounting lugs are tightened very securely.
Hint:
When secured, grab hold of the engine—you should be
able to pick up the airplane. This is a check to be
certain the engine is tightened securely. You need to
continually check the tightness of these screws every
few flights to be certain they are still snug.
