17. Trim approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) from the end
of the nylon ball socket before threading the 2-56 x
1" ( 25.4 mm) threaded rod into the end. Also trim 3/8"
(9.5 mm) from the end of the threaded rod.
❏
18. Install the nylon ball socket and threaded rod
on the choke following the same procedure used for
the throttle pushrod.
❏
19. Place the ignition module on a piece of R/C
foam rubber (not included) and secure it to the top
of the fi rewall box with hook and loop material. The
excess wire can be secured with a piece of rubber
band (not included) glued to the fi rewall box.
❏
20. Wrap the ignition battery in R/C foam rubber
and attach it to the bottom of the fi rewall box with hook
and loop material. Install the ignition switch in the side
of the fuselage at the front.
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL
THE FUEL TANK
❏
1. If installing the pneumatic retracts attach a 12"
(305 mm) piece of airline tubing to the pressure tank.
Insert the pressure tank into the fuselage. A couple of
dabs of silicone sealant such as Shoe Goo
®
can be
applied to the pressure tank supports to hold the tank
in position but still allow it to be removed if necessary.
Secure the pressure tank to the supports with four
#64 rubberbands.
❏
2. Assemble the fuel tank stopper assembly with
the fuel tubes as shown. The easiest way is to fi rst
solder a fuel line barb (not included) onto
one
end of
all three tubes. Insert the tubes into the stopper with
the metal plates, and then solder a barb onto the other
end of the two short tubes. Bend the vent tube and
connect the pickup and fueling/defueling lines (not
included) to the short tubes. Connect the clunks to
the lines and secure the lines to the clunk and brass
tubing with the included small tie straps.
❏
3. Install the fuel tank stopper assembly in the
fuel tank. Check that the clunks move around freely
in the fuel tank. Tighten the fuel tank stopper screw.
Refer to the next step for the orientation of the fuel
tank. Then mark the top of the fuel tank where the
vent tube is located.
