6. Slide the 18" wire control rod into the white
nylon tube. Install the wire onto the control horn
and retain it in place with the 1/16" wheel collar
and 4-40 set screw.

7. Install the wheel on the nose gear. The nose
wheel has a slightly smaller axle hole than the
remaining two wheels. Install a 4mm x 10mm
wheel collar and secure it with a 3mm x 4mm
screw. Install a 5mm x 10mm wheel collar on
each side of the main landing gear. Then install the
wheels and the other 5mm x 10mm wheel collar.
Secure the wheel collars with the 3mm x 4mm
screws. All three wheels should turn freely. If not,
trim the inside of the wheel slightly.

1. Locate the two metal engine mount straps.

2. Put your engine onto the engine mount.
Note:
Depending on your engine you may need to
cut away portions of the fuselage sides for
clearance for the muffler or needle valve. Place the
engine mounting straps over the mounting rails of
the engine. Screw the mounting rails in place with
the 4mm x 15mm screws and 4mm lock washers.
❏
3. Remove the fuel tank compartment cover
from the fuselage. Locate the white nylon tube
and cut it to a length of 9". Install it through the pre-
drilled hole in the firewall. Epoxy the tube in place
so that 1" of the tube protrudes through the firewall.
