fuel line inside the tank does not contact the rear of the tank.
Otherwise, the line may become stuck during flight and
discontinue fuel flow. Remember (or use a felt-tip pen to
mark) which tube is the fuel pick-up tube and which tube is
the vent (that will be connected to the pressure fitting on the
engine muffler).

❏ 

11. Install the tank in the fuse. Fit the neck through the

hole in the firewall. Be certain the vent tube inside the tank
is pointing upward.

❏ 

12. Hold the tank in place on the tank supports by gluing

a scrap piece of balsa (not included) across the former.

❏ 

13. Make the throttle pushrod by threading a nylon

clevis approximately 25 full turns onto the end of a 12"
pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis keeper over the end of the
clevis. Insert the end of the wire into the gray plastic tube
you previously installed. Next connect the clevis to the
throttle arm on the engine.

❏ 

14. Install the engine muffler. Install silicone fuel line (not

included) from the fuel tank pick up line to the carburetor and
from the fuel tank vent line to the muffler.

❏ 

1. Make the elevator and rudder pushrods by threading

two nylon clevises approximately 25 full turns onto the end
of two 36" pushrods. Slide a silicone clevis keeper over the
end of the clevis. Connect each clevis to a large nylon
control horn.

❏ 

2. Slide the pushrods into the guide tubes through the aft

end of the fuse. Drill 3/32" holes through the rudder and
elevator and mount the horns with 2-56 x 5/8" [2-56 x
15.9mm] screws and the nylon mounting plates on the other
side of the control surface. Attach the clevis to the control
horn. Slide the silicone clevis keeper over the clevis.
