70. Mark the firewall for the location of the throttle pushrod. Mark the bottom of the
pod where the throttle cable will exit. Now carefully drill holes in these parts
making sure that you do not damage the fuel tank.Insert the throttle pushrod
housing into the pod with about 2" sticking out of the firewall and the remainder
sticking out from the bottom of P-1. Glue the housing securely into position.
71.
Wrap and glue the 3/32" sheeting around the pod. When the glue is dry, trim the
sheet flush with the front of P-2 and the rear face of P-3.
72.
Glue the balsa block to P-3. The bottom of the block should be flush with the bottom of P-1. When the glue is dry, sand the
block to the cylindrical shape as the pod.
73.
Trim and sand the rounded side profile,
the top profile and finally round off the
corners. Use care not to bend or kink the
throttle pushrod where it exits the bottom
of the pod.
74.
Bolt the motor back on the motor mount. Slide the spinner backup ring (P-7) over
the crankshaft. Install the spinner back plate on the motor using the proper
adapter and the motors thrust washer and prop nut. If the threads on the
crankshaft are not long enough to allow the nut to be tightened without the
propeller, use spacers behind the nut as required.
Glue several small scraps of 3/32" balsa between the spinner back plate and P-7.
This will establish an even spacing between these parts.
75.
Cut the bottom piece of the motor fairing from one of the 1/4" balsa sheets
provided. The back end should beveled to create a tight fitting joint against P-1.
The front edge should be beveled to create a tight fit against P-7. When you are
satisfied with the fit, glue the 1/4" balsa sheet into position.
76.
Cut, fit and install the remaining 1/4" balsa sheet sides of the fairing. Start at the
bottom and work toward the top. The pieces of sheet should be trimmed to
achieve a tight fit against the adjacent parts. Build up the sides to the level shown
in the photo. When the glue is dry, trim the top edges to allow clearance for the
muffler and needle valve and also to provide access to the fuel and vent lines as
well as the motor bolts.
