the threaded ball link ball on the carburetor arm. Glue 
in one of the plywood 

guide tube mounts

 where 

necessary to stabilize the throttle guide tube.

INSTALL THE  FUEL TANK

 1. Cut one of the 

longer

 

aluminum fuel tubes in half 
by rolling it back-and-forth 
several times under a 
hobby blade. Insert both 

halves of the tube, and the other longer tube through 
the rubber stopper (it helps to wet the holes in the 
stopper with saliva).

 2. Assemble the rest of the stopper assembly as 

shown—be certain the clunks on the ends of the fuel 
lines will not contact the back of the tank. Otherwise, 
they could become stuck, causing an interruption in 
fuel fl ow. Bend the vent tube upward so it will be at the 
top of the tank when the stopper is inserted.

 3. Fit the stopper assembly into the tank and tighten 

the screw to expand the stopper and seal the tank. 
Make certain the stopper is secure and make sure the 
clunks on the ends of the fuel lines are not contacting 
the back of the tank.

 4. Fit the tank into position and hold it in place with 

one or two #64 rubber bands.

We’ll install and connect the fuel lines later.

MOUNT THE  COWL

On models where the engine and/or muffl er protrude 
from the cowl, cutting holes for the engine and muffl er 
can be a “catch-22.” You can’t know precisely where 
to cut holes until the cowl is mounted, but you can’t 
mount the cowl over the engine until the holes are cut. 
Sometimes templates work, but templates cannot be 
made for 

every

 engine/muffl er combination. Usually, 

the best way is to 

carefully

 and 

gradually

 cut and fi t 

as illustrated:

 1. Remove the muffl er (you could also remove the 

valve cover from four-stroke engines or the head from 
2-strokes, but this usually isn’t necessary). Cover the 
open cylinder or exposed valves with tape so dust 

cannot get in. Temporarily tack-glue pieces of 1/16" 
[1.6 mm] balsa (not included) to all four cowl mount 
blocks. These will take up the space of the plywood 
mounting screw hole doublers that will be glued inside 
the cowl later. (See Step 8 on page 23.)

 2. Slide the cowl into position over the engine, 

aligning the paint lines — even if the engine doesn’t 
clear the cowl you should still be able to slide the cowl 
into place even if it isn’t perfectly aligned. Temporarily 
place the propeller on the engine to determine how 
far aft to position the cowl. Use a pencil to mark inside 
of cowl at the front of the engine. This will indicate the 

approximate

 location of where to start cutting the cowl.
