In this section we will install the Zenoah
®
G26 gas engine. We
have included a Hangar 9
®
aluminum engine mount for beam
mounting 2- and 4-stroke glow engines ranging in size from
1.08 and up. When mounting these engines, center the mount
left to right on the engine box and measure down 1
7/
8
" to get
the center location for the prop shaft. The firewall-to-prop hub
measurement is 6
1/
4
".
Step 1
Remove the aluminum back plate from the G26 engine using
a large Phillips screwdriver.
Step 2
Mark the locations for the four mounting screws as shown
below. To locate the upper mounting hole, use a straightedge
ruler diagonally across the mount and mark 5/8" in from the
corner. For the lower holes measure in 9/16" from each side of
the mount centered over the existing mount holes. Carefully
drill the four mounting holes using a drill and 5/32" drill bit.
Step 3
Draw a line across the top of the engine box 1/4" down from
the top. Position the mounting plate centered on the engine box
with the top edge aligned with the line you just drew. Mark
the four mounting hole locations onto the firewall using a
felt-tipped pen or pencil.
