steP 1: iNstaLLiNG tHe eNGiNe MouNtiNG BeaMs
IMPORTANT
The following procedures outline the installation of a two-stroke engine. Installing a four-stroke engine is the
same, although you may need to install the engine further out on the engine mounting beams to accommodate the carburetor.
q
Use a dab of thick C/A to temporarily glue the engine mounting beams
to your engine, making sure that both engine mounting beams are straight
and even.
PRO TIP
Mount the engine as far forward as possible to ensure that the
engine mounting beams remain square.
q
Line up the engine mounting beams with the precut slots in the firewall
and temporarily install the four M3 x 18mm machine screws, four M3 flat
washers and four M3 blind nuts.
q
Carefully center the engine mounting beams over the precut slots and
firmly tighten the four machine screws to draw the blind nuts into the back
of the firewall.

q
Install your spinner backplate (not included) onto your engine's crankshaft,
using the propeller washer and nut included with your engine.
q
Measure the distance from the
front of the fuselage side
(not the
firewall) to the back of the spinner backplate. Adjust the depth of the
engine so that the measurement is 4-1/8" (105mm).
q
Slide one wheel onto each axle, then secure the wheels into place, using
two wheel collars and two M3 x 5mm machine screws.
+
Tighten the machine screws firmly, then double-check that both wheels
spin freely.
IMPORTANT
The recess in each wheel should be toward the inside.
