3. Drill 3.3 mm [#30 – #32] holes at the marks, then tap
4 mm threads into the holes – a drill press is preferred (if
available) for drilling the holes (which will require removal
of the mount from the plane) and the holes can be easily
and rapidly tapped with the tap chucked up in a hand drill.

4. Reattach the engine mount to the firewall and mount
the engine with M4 x 20 SHCS and M4 lock washers.

5. Make the
fuel tank strap
by overlapping 3" [75mm]
of the included Velcro strips.

6. Install the
fuel tank plate
in the fuselage with the Velcro
tank strap. Fasten the tank plate with four M3 x 10 screws
(a #2 or #3 Phillips screwdriver works best on these screws).
HOOK UP THE THROTTLE, INSTALL THE FUEL TANK
❏
1. Although the fuel tank is assembled, removing the
stopper assembly and making a quick inspection to make
sure the lines and clunks are secure is recommended. After
a quick look, reinstall the stopper with the vent at the top
of the tank (you can use a felt-tip pen to label the top of
the tank as
TOP
with the vent). Tighten the screw to seal
the stopper.

2. Hook up the throttle using the hardware shown. Cut
the pushrod to length and make bends in it as necessary
for smooth movement.
