accurate measurement. Once you have determined the engine placement, drill the holes and mount your
engine using the supplied bolts, washers, and locking nuts. Use thin CA on the inside of the holes to harden
them up. You may wish to add about 2-3 degrees of right thrust by adding washers or wedge plates under
the engine before mounting. Finally complete the throttle pushrod using the supplied 2 mm pushrod and
clevis. Make sure you have the proper throws set for idle and full. Install your muffler, prop and spinner.
7. The preferred location for the receiver is either in the forward or aft fuselage opening between the wing
panels. One way to accomplish this is by gluing a flat piece of lite-ply on the top surface of the opening and
securing the receiver with tie straps or Velcro. The switch can be mounted in the hatch cover, anywhere
under the fuselage sheeting, or in the wing next to the battery (preferred location). If mounting in the left
wing panel a good trick to do is to use a Y-harness to connect the left aileron servo to the output of the
switch. When installing the wing you simply plug the end of the Y-harness into the aileron channel of the
receiver. With this configuration the rx battery would be installed in the leading edge area of the left wing.

ELECTRIC MOTOR VERSION:
1. Locate the supplied electric motor mount backing plates. They are two plywood pieces that look like an
“H”. Glue the two pieces together making sure that they are perfectly aligned with each other. Once dry,
trial fit the mount in place on the fuselage. Start at the front of the fuselage engine area and slip the mount
all the way to the back of the motor mount area. Once satisfied with the fit, mark and trim away any
covering under the mount and then glue in place with epoxy. Use a square to make sure the motor mount is
on straight with no up, down or offset built into it. Once the glue is dry, either put wood screws that are
