Again, these instructions are specific to
the R-50 engine. Outline the module on
the right side’s ply key, and then cut out
the key along those lines (remove the
key before cutting). Remove some
foam so the unit will sit below the closed
cowl door.
The unit can be secured by Velcro or tie
straps. Use cable clips to secure the
spark plug and sensor wires to the
firewall/engine plate. Extend a tunnel at
the rear of the right bay into the left bay.
Pass the ignition’s battery wire into the
left bay. You can locate the ignition
switch next to the choke lever (or
wherever you want to). Make a tunnel
from the rear of the right bay down into
the front cockpit beneath the instrument
panel (where the pilot’s feet would be).
You will extend the throttle servo’s lead
and extension wire to the receiver later.
25. Determine a location in the left bay
for the ignition switch. Remove the key
and cut to receive the switch. Remove
foam where needed to clear the switch
and wires. The location of the ignition
battery will be some where in the left
bay but its final location should be
determined during final balancing so you
will leave the battery’s connection for
later.
26. You can optionally remove some of
the left equipment bay and firewall key
to allow for air to more freely flow out of
the louvers. The same can be done for
the right side.
27. Use epoxy to glue on the upper
firewall keys.
Nose Gear Doors
There are a few ways you could choose
to actuate the doors: mechanically
(levers or pull cords moved by the
strut/tire), pneumatically (using small air
cylinders), or electronically (using
servos). The latter two options require a
sequencing device to time the opening
and closing of the doors relative to the
gear’s movement. Unlike the main gear
inner doors that close after gear
extension, the nose gear doors remain
open when the gear is extended. A
pneumatic solution requires an
additional air valve (such as the U.P. 4).
An electronic solution requires a circuit
