ENGINE INSTALLATION

1. Temporarily install the two mounting pads to the engine mount using

four 4mm x 15mm screws. Set the engine on the mounting pads so

that the center line of the engine is in line with the center line of the
engine mount. Also the drive washer on the engine must protrude

1/8" from the front of the plane. Next, mark the mounting holes for

the engine on the pads.

2. Remove the pads and drill a 5/32" hole at each mark.

4. Make a "z" bend in the 17 3/4" throttle control rod and install on the

throttle arm of engine. Next, cut one white tube so it is 9" long. Rough
it up slightly with sand paper. Now epoxy it inside of the fire wall and
to the fuselage former as shown (You may have to drill the hole
completely through the firewall).

5. As you install the engine and mounting pads on the engine mount,

slide the throttle control rod into the throttle control tube. Install the
four lock washers. Note: It is advisable to use semi permanent

thread locking compound on the screws.

ASSEMBLY OF FUEL TANK

3. Mount the engine to the mounting pads by using four 4mm x 15mm

screws, four lock washers and four 4mm nuts (small) as shown.

1. Assemble the fuel tank as shown. Apply a bead of silicone sealant

around the fuel tank cap as shown when installing it into the fuselage.
