6.2.6 Propulsion Installation

Installation of the turbine into the aircraft is best done with the exhaust pipe in
hand. It is recommended that these steps not be performed until the complete
turbine and pipe are available for installation into the aircraft.

Assemble the fuel tank per the turbine engine
instructions.
Note: Ensure a filter clunk is
installed into the tank per Wren instructions.
Tank will be installed upside down, so ensure
vent tube is oriented accordingly.
‰
Install the fuel tank (upside down with the
front facing toward the nose of the aircraft)
into the compartment behind the inlet and in
front of the forward main gear door bulkhead
as shown.
Note: If necessary, remove any
interference material, ie. the top cross
member from the main wheel well bulkhead
(F4), etc.
‰
Find the part “fuel tank retainer” and 6 each
retainer spacers. With the fuel tank in place,
determine the number of spacers required to
offset the “fuel tank retainer” and glue the
parts together.
Note: There should be
positive contact with the tank to hold the tank
to a snug fit.
‰
Tack glue the retainer spacers to the outer
tips of the fuel tank retainer. Drill a 1/16”
diameter hole as shown on the part.
‰
Secure two small #2x3/8” sheet metal screws
into the holes.
‰
With 5 minute epoxy, glue the retainer
spacers to the rear side of the front main
wheel well bulkhead (F4) to secure the fuel
tank in place. Ensure the fuel tank is held
securely in place. Scrap plywood applied as
necessary can be used to aid in holding the
tank securely.
Note: The fuel tank retainer
can be removed by loosening the two screws.
