INSTRUCTIONS

 

48.  Use the 4mm bolts, blind nuts, and washers to 

mount the engine mount to the firewall.  Use 
thread lock on the bolts.  Drill a 1/8” hole for the 
engine control rod in the firewall, below the 
mount, aligned with the carb. 

 

 

49.  Make a “z” bend on the end of the engine control 

rod.  Pull the carb off the engine and install the 
rod into the carb arm, then install the rod through 
firewall and reinstall.  

 

50.  Make sure your carburetor and throttle servo are 

at low position.  Reverse your servo if necessary.  
Install a servo horn on the throttle servo, with an 
arm back at an angle to the servo.  

51.  Install an EZ connector in the hole 

approximately the same length of the carburetor 
arm.  

52.  Trim the throttle control rod to approximate 

length, then insert through the hole in the EZ 
connector.  Tighten the connector enough to test 
the throw of the servo and adjust as needed to 
allow for maximum throw, but not bind the 
servo.  When satisfied, trim the control rod to ¼” 
past the EZ connector.  Install the servo horn.  

   

53.  Mark the center of the firewall base using a ruler 

and a pen.  Center the nose gear brackets on the 
firewall and mark through the hole.  

 

54.  Mark then drill a 1/16” hole through the 

mounting holes.  Screw the bracket in place with 
(4) #4 screws. 

    

55.  Assemble the steering arm.  Drill a 1/8” hole in 

the end of the plastic arm, then install the wheel 
collar and screw. 

  

56.  Install the steering arm in the brackets, then slide 

the nose gear in place.
