D 28. Attach the throttle pushrod to the throttle servo arm.

NOTE: You may use a "Z-bend" here, but we recommend

using a DuBro "E-Z connector" (or similar) for this hookup,
for ease of installation and adjustment.

D 29. Hook up your radio system and test the operation of
all controls.

We recommend the following CONTROL SURFACE
THROWS:

NOTE: Throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevator and rudder.

ELEVATOR: 3/8" up, 3/8" down

RUDDER: 3/4" Rt.. 3/4" Lt.

AILERONS: 5/16" up, 5/16" down

NOTE: These control surface "throws" are
approximate and provide a good starting point for the
first flights with your Super Decathlon 40. You may
wish to change the throws slightly to provide the
smoothness or quickness that you prefer.

FIT FUEL TANK AND FUELPROOF TANK
COMPARTMENT

mend bending the brass lubes as shown in the photo to prevent
them from cutting through the silicone fuel lines if pressed
against the firewall. ("Bending Springs" are available from
your hobby shop, which enable you to bend tubing without
kinking).

D 2. A 1/8" x 2-1/2" x 4-17/32" balsa sheet is provided as
a fuel tank base. Trial fit and glue the fuel tank base in place
on the bottom of the openings in the fuse side doublers.

NOTE: We recommend locating the fuel tank so the
centerline of the tank is approximately 1/4" below the
fuel line fitting on the carburetor. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for your engine, and
adjust the height of the tank accordingly.

D 3. If your engine mount is attached directly to F-l, tem-
porarily install the engine mount and note how far the

mounting screws protrude into the fuel tank compartment.
Remove the screws and cut them off so they do not protrude
more than 1/8" (to prevent puncturing the fuel tank).

D 4. Drill two holes (7/32" or size to fit your fuel tubing)

in F-l for your fuel line tubing vent and fill lines. The
location of these holes will depend somewhat upon the type

of engine you are using, etc.

D 5. If you have not already done so, remove the engine

mount and fuelproofthe inside of the fuel tank compartment
and the front of F-l by brushing on a coat of polyester resin
or 30-minute epoxy thinned with alcohol.

D 6. Install the fuel tank at this lime, and cushion it from

vibration and prevent it from moving by surrounding the tank
