7) With the stopper assembly in place the
weighted pickup should rest about 3/8” away from
the rear of the tank and move freely inside the
tank. The vent tube should be inside the bubble
in the tank, but not rub against the tank. Adjust
the tubes accordingly.
o
8) When satisfied with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm ma-
chine screw until the rubber stopper expands and
seals the tank opening. Do not overtighten the
assembly as this could cause the tank to split.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
o
9) Slide the fuel tank into the fuel tank com-
partment in the front of the airplane. The bubble
in the tank should face the top of the fuselage and
the stopper assembly should engage the predrilled
hole in the firewall. The rear edge of the tank
should be even with the forward bulkhead. This
will prevent the wing from interfering with the tank
when it is mounted.
o
10) Secure the fuel tank in place using sev-
eral pieces of foam rubber. Seal any gaps be-
tween the stopper assembly and the firewall using
silicon sealer. Be careful not to get any sealer
inside the aluminum tubing.
PARTS REQUIRED
THROTTLE LINKAGE
INSTALLING THE THROTTLE LINKAGE
o
{1} 2mm x 300mm Pushrod Wire w/Z-Bend
o
1) Locate and drill a 3/32” hole through the
firewall for the throttle pushrod wire to pass
through (you may need to temporarily remove the
engine). The hole should be level with the throttle
arm, but may need to be moved slightly to clear
the fuel tank depending on the engine used.
Be careful not to drill through the fuel tank
that has already been installed.
o
2) Slide the plain end of the pushrod wire
through the hole and into the fuselage. Remove
the throttle arm from the carburetor and attach
the Z-bend to the outer hole in the arm.
o
3) Reattach the throttle arm to the carbure-
tor and use a pair of pliers to make any necessary
bends in the wire so it does not bind when the
carburetor is moved from the idle to the full throttle
position. See photo # 32 at top right.

PARTS REQUIRED
SERVO INSTALLATION
o
{2} Aileron Servo Mounting Plates (W-37)
o
{1} Fuselage Servo Tray (D-10)
INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS
o
1) Install the rubber grommets and brass col-
lets provided with your radio system onto four ser-
vos. Test fit two of the servos into the two precut
servo holes in the fuselage servo tray (D-10). These
will be the elevator and rudder servos.
Because the size of servos differ, you may
need to adjust the size of the precut open-
ings. You may also need to use a modeling knife
and cut a groove to allow room for the servo wires.
o
2) Install the elevator and rudder servos us-
ing the wood screws provided with your radio
system. Drill 1/16” pilot holes through the tray
before installing the screws. This will help pre-
vent the wood from splitting. Install the servos
with the output shafts in the orientation shown.
