Engine Installation
Collect the following parts
ÿ
engine mounting hardware
ÿ
fuel lines
Install your engine so the distance from the firewall to the back of your propeller is 6 3/8 inches. We
recommend positioning your engine with 3º of down thrust and 2º of right thrust. Use flat washers behind the
engine mount if needed.
We decided to use a Super Tiger G2300 engine in our Decathlon. The kit comes with a complete traditional
glow engine mount, hardware and fuel tank.
First mark the center line and thrust line on the firewall using a marker. The photo shows how these lines pass
through the center of the fuel line hole.
Locate your engine and mount assembly. Offset your engine so the
center of the prop shaft (at the propeller) lines up with the center
lines on the firewall so your cowl will sit straight. Route your fuel
lines and connect them to your engine.
Locate where your engine throttle control rod will exit the firewall
and mark it. Drill a large enough hole through the firewall.
We recommend locating the throttle servo beside the rudder
servo on the main servo rail.
Connect the throttle linkage and make sure it is working in the proper direction and operates the carburetor
linkage properly.
You may want to also install a linkage to operate the engine choke if your engine is so equipped.
