8) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not over-
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
o
9) Slide the fuel tank into the fuel tank
compartment in the front of the airplane. The
bubble in the tank should face the top of the
fuselage and the tank should rest on the balsa
fuel tank support floor. The stopper assembly
should also engage the predrilled hole in the
firewall.
o
10) Secure the fuel tank in place using
foam rubber. Seal any gaps between the stop-
per assembly and the firewall using silicon
sealer. Be careful not to get any sealer inside
the aluminum tubing.
PARTS REQUIRED
THROTTLE LINKAGE
INSTALLING THE THROTTLE LINKAGE
o
{1} 1.5mm x 300mm Wire Threaded One End
o
{1} Nylon Clevis w/1.5mm I.D. Hole
o
1) Thread the nylon clevis onto the
threaded end of the 300mm pushrod wire.
This clevis has a 1.5mm I.D. hole that
matches the diameter of the pushrod wire.
All other clevises in the kit use a larger diam-
eter hole for larger wire.
o
2) Locate and drill a 3/32” hole through
the firewall for the throttle pushrod wire to
pass through. The hole should be level with
the throttle arm, but moved over enough to
clear the fuel tank. Be careful not to drill into
the fuel tank.
o
3) Slide the pushrod wire through the hole
and into the fuselage. Attach the clevis to the
throttle arm. Use a pair of pliers and make the
necessary bends in the wire so it does not bind
when moved from idle to the full throttle po-
sition. See photos # 23 & # 24 at top right.
