•
Adjust the location of your engine to obtain the clearance specified by the manufacturer
between the exhaust cone and the pipe mouth. It is likely it will extend into the intake.
•
Shim the engine as necessary to make sure it is centred in the pipe and is aligned with the
slope of the pipe from front to rear.
•
When you are satisfied, bolt the engine to the side frames with wood screws. Remove the
screws and coat the thread holes with thin CA. This will harden the wood.
•
Connect service lines to the turbine and bolt permanently in place (photo 7).
•
Complete the installation of engine components and mount where necessary depending
on your engine.
•
Remember to leave clearance for the cockpit above the component board at the front of
the fuse.
•
Resist the temptation to hide wires away under the component boards, as it will make
future maintenance more difficult. Keep things neat but accessible.
Step 12: Main Landing Gear and Doors
•
Extend main gear and unscrew and move to once side.
•
Put a drop of thin CA into each screw hole to strengthen the ply in the area of the bolts.
•
If not already done, attach air lines to the main gear and check for leaks with a hand
pump.
•
Attach brake line and check for operation of the brakes and leaks with a hand pump.
•
Attach air lines to the door cylinder from inside the fuse if not already accomplished. Test for
leaks.
•
Put a drop of thin CA on the small nuts at both door cylinder bolt locations to reduce the
risk that they loosen over time.
•
Route all air lines to the nose and ensure they cannot be damaged by other components.
•
Reinstall main gear. Check for smooth operation with a hand pump.
