INSTALLING THE THROTTLE PUSHROD HOUSING
1. Install the engine mount to the fuselage.
2. Place the engine into the engine mount and
align it properly with the front of the cowling.
The distance from the firewall to the front of the
engine thrust washer should [120mm]
If your engine is equipped with a remote needle
valve, we suggest installing it into the engine at
this time.
3. When satisfied with the alignment of the engine,
use a pencil and mark the mounting hole
location onto the firewall, where the throttle
pushrod will exit.
4. Now, remove the engine. Using a 5mm drill bit,
drill holes through the firewall and the forward
bulkhead at the marks made.
5. Slide the pushrod housing through the hole in
the firewall, through the hole in the forward
bulkhead, and into the servo compartment.
6. Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the pushrod
housing where it exits the firewall and where it
passes through the forward bulkhead. This will
secure the housing in place.
