Remove the engine temporarily and fix the bypass to
the mounting rails with wood screws.
Reattach the pipe to the aft of the bypass and secure
with bolts. If desired, a drop of thin CA can be used to
insure the nuts do not loosen.
Check the pipe where it passes through the aft former
for any play. If there is a lot of play and the pipe
moves freely about, cut additional supports out of
scrap wood and glue them to the aft former. Allow just
a little play so the band around the aft of the exhaust
pipe will fit through in the event it must be removed.
Insure that the wiring and speed brake lines are
secured well away from the pipe.
Completely clean the intakes, bypass and aft area of
the model with a vacuum or compressed air.
Reinstall your engine, securing it to the mounting rails
with wood screws or cap screws with blind nuts.
Check again to make sure it is centered and that the
angle of the engine matches the angle of the pipe.
Use washers under the mounting tabs if necessary to
achieve the proper alignment.
If you elect to use the upper bypass, trim, fit and
secure to the engine rails using wood screws.
The photo on the right shows a Jet Central Super
Eagle/Rhino installation. Wooden plates were used to
widen the mounting tabs to sit on the rails. Note the
smoke system tubes secured to the tops of these
mounting tabs.
