INSTALL THE ENGINE,
THROTTLE / CHOKE SERVOS
AND IGNITION SWITCH
The following engine mounting instructions show the
installation of the DLE30 side exhaust gas engine. An
additional DLE engine, the DLE35, mounts very similar to
the DLE 30. We do make note of the modification required
for installing it in these instructions. The installation of
other brands of engines will be similar and the following
instructions can be used as a guide.
❏
1. Drill a 3/16" [4.8mm] hole through the firewall at each
location marked with a “+” if you are installing the DLE 30. If
you are installing an engine with a different mounting bolt
pattern the firewall has crosshairs embossed on it to help
locate the correct mounting location.
Note:
If you are mounting the DLE 35 RA the “+” marks on the
top of the firewall will match with two of the mounting holes of
the engine. You will need to make measurements for the lower
mounts as they are a bit further apart. Additionally you will
need to remove a part of the triangle stock as shown. Please
use the paper template on page 43 for locating the holes for
the DLE35RA after you have removed the triangle stock. When
installing the rear exhaust muffler with the DLE 35 you will
need to remove a small amount of the bottom of the firewall.
❏
2. Install engine mounting bolts, flat washers and lock
washers from the back of the firewall. (The mounting hardware
is not included in this kit. It should come with the engine. If
your engine did not include fender washers, purchase four
fender washers to mount the bolts from behind the firewall.
The fender washer helps to better spread the load from the
engine). Apply a drop of thread locker to each bolt before
installing them into the engine stand-offs. The standoffs can
be permanently mounted. The bolts mounting the engine to
the stand-offs should not be permanently installed as they will
be removed several times during the process of installing the
engine.
Note:
For the DLE 35RA installation you may need
to remove some of the triangle stock from the back side of
the firewall.
❏
4. For reference, the distance from the front of the firewall
to the front of the drive washer is 6-5/16" [156mm].
Many modelers have their own preferences for connectors
and throttle linkage. We have provided materials for a secure
and safe throttle linkage. We have also included a method to
connect a linkage to the choke. This will require the use of
an additional servo for the choke linkage. Some modelers
may prefer a mechanical choke linkage. Review the following
procedure. Then, modify it as you wish to fit your personal
preferences.
