top and bottom of the engine mounting box
the cockpit, down and forward into the motor mounting box (where a fuel
tank would be installed in a gas or glow airplane).

If you are using a gas or glow engine, install the
supplied fuel tank inside the engine mounting
box. Route all appropriate fuel lines (such as the
‘clunk’ line to the carburetor, vent line, and a line
to fill the tank). If you are using a gas engine,
may also install a ‘kill’ switch and/or any extra
linkages or controls your engine may require.

Slide the engine mounting box into its opening in
the Nieuport 28’s nose and test-fit how far the
engine mounting box needs to be slid inside
opening in the fuselage so the engine’s (or
motor’s) propeller backplate has approx. 3/16
clearance between the back of the propeller
and the front of the cowl.

Attach the two included pieces of aluminum
L-channel with wood screws to secure the engine
mounting box to the fuselage.

stabilizer’s outer CA hinges).
68.
Use the tail wheel’s forward-most mounting screw
wheel. Use the supplied length of empennage wire and
mounting plate. Guide the wire up and through the hole in the horizontal stabilizer, to and through the hole at the top of
vertical stabilizer’s tail post, then
down and through the second
hole in the horizontal stabilizer.

Pull the wire snug, use a crimp
tube to attach the loose end of
the wire to the remaining hole in
the mounting plate, then cut off

Apply CA adhesive to securely
anchor the tail-wheel’s mounting
