D 54. Assemble the short throttle pushrod by screwing
the remaining 1" long threaded rod and nylon clevis into
one end of the 12" long inner pushrod and snapping this
assembly onto the throttle servo horn.
D 57. Tack glue or hold these in place for the next step.
D 55. Attach the plastic fuselage tube to the channel by
sliding it over the channel assembly and pushing the
front 8-32 screw through the middle hole in the bottom
of the tube. Put the aluminum landing gear in place on
the 9-32 screw and secure the whole assembly with a #8
lock washer and an 8-32 hex nut. Insert the remaining 8-
32 screw in the rear hole from the bottom and secure it
with a #8 lock washer and an 8-32 hex nut in the
channel. It is a good idea to use some medium strength
thread locking cement on these bolts.
D 58. Drill a 1/8" diameter hole in each support using
the attached landing gear as a guide. Remove the
supports from the fuselage and enlarge the holes to
5/32". Insert a 4-40 blind nut in each hole and use a
hammer to seat the blind nut in place. Replace the
supports into the fuselage with the blind nut facing
up and use the 4-40 x 5/8" machine screws to hold
everything together.
D 56. Slide the two 1/4" plywood landing gear supports
into the fuselage, one on each side of the aluminum
channel. The front of the supports should be even with
the front of the aluminum channel.
D 59. Assemble your fuel tank according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Connect the fuel tank to
the engine by threading the fuel tubing through the
two holes in the middle of the engine mount and
attaching the pickup line to the carburetor and the
