wire for the set screw to tighten onto. This flat spot will also
prevent the axle from slipping on the landing gear wire. File
a flat spot on the axle for the wheel collar too. Install the
wheel and one 5/32" [4mm] wheel collar onto the axle and
insert the axle onto the landing gear wire. Then tighten the
set screws to the axle and wheel collar.

8. Repeat this procedure for the left landing gear.

1. Assemble the fuel tank as shown in the sketch. When
tightening the center screw, be sure not to overtighten it. You
just want it snug enough to pull the rubber stopper tight
against the tank.
❏
2. Install silicone fuel tubing (not included in the kit) onto
the aluminum tubes from the fuel tank. The line with the fuel
clunk will feed to the fuel inlet at the needle valve and the
other will attach to the pressure tap on the muffler. For our
installation we chose to use an external fill valve. If you
choose to do this as well, follow the instructions with the fuel
valve. Should you choose not to install a fuel filler valve, you
can fill the fuel tank by removing the fuel line to the
carburetor and filling through it. However, depending on how
you cut out the cowling to accommodate the engine, the
cowling may make it difficult to access the carburetor. You
can also install a third line to the tank and use it for filling the
tank. The method you use is your choice, but make your
decision before moving onto the installation of the fuel tank.
❏
3. Install the fuel tank into the fuselage. Apply silicone
sealant to the front of the tank to hold it to the firewall. Feed
the silicone fuel lines through the opening in the firewall. The
silicone sealant will hold the tank in place.
❏
4. Attach the fuel line to the carburetor and the pressure
line to the muffler.
❏
1. Locate one of the 2-56 x 36" wire pushrods, threaded
on one end. Locate a nylon clevis and silicone clevis
retainer. Turn the clevis onto the threaded end of the
pushrod approximately 25 turns. Slide the clevis retainer
onto the bottom of the clevis. Once completed, slide the wire
into the lower pushrod hole on the left side of the fuselage.
❏
2. Install the control horn to the rudder. Place the control
horn as shown in the sketch. Once positioned, drill a 1/16"
[1.5mm] hole through the holes in the mounting flange and
through the rudder. Harden the holes with a drop of thin CA.
Attach the control horn in place with two 2-56 x 5/8"
[15.9mm] machine screws. The screws attach to the control
horn plate on the opposite side of the rudder.
