FUSELAGE
Because the fuselage is round, installing the
main gear will make the fuselage more stable
and easier to handle. Remove the taped on
belly pan. Install the main gear with the
supplied Allen screws and washers.
When installed the gear should have a
forward sweep and the belly pan attach
screw hole should be at the front.
Test fit the belly pan and install the “T” nuts
inside the fuselage. Open the guide holes in
the fuselage to fit the nuts.
GAS OR GLOW
There are some fuel system differences from
gas to glow and you should decide now
which one you are going to use. The stopper
and line supplied with the fuel tank are for
use with GAS. Contact Super Kraft or your
local hobby store for conversion to glow.
GLOW ONLY
Because the location of the fuel tank is
critical in glow applications, a section of the
center of the instrument panel must be
removed so the tank will fit flush against the
firewall. The area to be removed is 2 ¾-
inches wide, 3/8-inch high. Remove the same
size section from the cross brace on the back
of the firewall.
Locate the center of the firewall and draw a
vertical line. Draw a horizontal line 4 7/16-
inches down from the top of the firewall.
Where the lines cross is the crankshaft
centerline.
No right thrust has been built in to the
firewall. Our testing indicated that with the
smaller engines {91-120} none was needed. ¾
to 1-degree worked well with the 150 size
engines and 2-degrees was needed with the
2.4. To keep the propeller centered in the
cowl, mount the engine 3/16-inch to the left
of the centerline for every degree of right
thrust planned.
ENGINE MOUNT
Using the measurement recorded in step 4,
add 3/8- inch, this is the distance from the
prop flange on the engine to the firewall.
