14) Slide the wheel assembly through the
predrilled hole in the landing gear bracket. Thread
one 4mm nylon insert nut onto the machine screw
and tighten it completely to hold the axle assem-
bly in place. See photo # 25 below.

When tightening the second nylon insert nut
be careful not to allow the first nylon insert
nut to tighten against the wheel.

15) Repeat steps # 12 - # 14 for the second
wheel assembly.
PARTS REQUIRED
ENGINE MOUNTING
MOUNTING ENGINE TO MOTOR MOUNT
o
{2} Nylon Motor Mount Beams
o
{4} 3mm x 25mm Machine Screws
o
{4} 3mm x 20mm Machine Screws
o
{4} 3mm Nylon Insert Nuts
o
{4} 3mm Blind Nuts
o
{12} 3mm Flat Washers

1) Using a clamp or a vise, align the two motor
mount beams and clamp them together. The beam
halves are universal and the webbing should face
the outside edges. See photo # 26 below.

o
2) Mark the locations of the four engine
mounting holes on the beams using a pencil. For
the engine to align properly with the cowling, it is
important that the front edge of the engine's drive
washer be 4-1/8” forward from the rear edge of
the mounting beams.
o
3) When satisfied with the alignment of the
engine, remove the beams from the clamp and
drill 1/8” holes through the mounting beams at
the four engine mounting hole locations.
o
4) Mount the engine to the mounting beams
using the four 3mm x 25mm machine screws, eight
3mm flat washers and four 3mm lock nuts. Tighten
the screws and nuts completely.
If using an engine equipped with a remote
needle valve we recommend mounting the
needle valve to the engine prior to installing the
engine on the motor mount beams.
ALIGNING THE MOTOR MOUNT
o
5) The engine is mounted sideways on the
firewall. Using a ruler and a pen, measure and
draw a vertical centerline and a horizontal cen-
terline on the firewall. See photo # 27 below.

o
6) With your engine still installed on the mo-
tor mount beams, use a ruler and measure the width
between the predrilled mounting holes in the motor
mount. This distance will vary depending on the
brand and size of the engine you have chosen. See
photo # 28 below.

o
7) Divide the measurement found in step # 6
in half. Measure this resulting distance and draw
one horizontal line above and below the horizontal
centerline.
