3. The engine will be mounted to the firewall on

its  side  (see  photograph  at  step  7).  On  the  firewall
there  are  reference  marks.  On  the  engine  mount
there are also reference marks. 

4. Align  the  reference  marks  of  the  engine  mount

with the lines on the firewall and center the sides of the
engine mount with the reference lines on the firewall.

5. With the engine properly positioned mark the

engine  mount  holes  onto  the  firewall.  Remove  the
engine from the firewall and drill through each of the
marks with a 3/16” [4.8mm] drill.

6.  Position  a  4mm  blind  nut  behind  one  of  the

holes you drilled in the firewall. Insert a 4mm [5/32”]
machine screw and washer into the hole, threading
it into the 4mm blind nut. Tighten the bolt until the
blind nut is pulled tight against the backside of the
firewall. Remove the bolt and repeat this for each of
the three remaining holes.

7.  Install  the  engine  mount  to  the  firewall  with

four  4  x  19mm  [3/4”]  machine  screws,  4mm  lock
washer and 4mm flat washer.

8. Assemble the 

fuel tank

as shown. If you will be

using a fuel valve (not included)  for filling the tank
rather than filling the tank by removing the line from
the carburetor, install it in the fuel line following the
instructions included with the valve. 

9.  Install  the  fuel  tank  into  the  fuselage,  and

through  the  hole  in  the  firewall.  From  the  6  x  6  x
127mm [5”] balsa stick, cut the stick to fit and glue
it in place behind the tank.
