BUILD THE FUSELAGE
GLOW ENGINE INSTALLATION
The Razor 3D ARF is designed to be fl own with a .46-.55
two-stroke glow engine, .70-.81 four-stroke glow engine, or a
brushless out-runner motor. If you plan to install a brushless
motor, skip this section as it only contains information relevant
to installing a glow engine.
A 2-stroke engine is shown in this section. The installation
of a 4-stroke engine will require a similar procedure.
❏
1. Seal up the electric cooling hole cutout with thick CA
or epoxy.
❏
2. The fuel tank can be assembled as a two line system
consisting of a vent (pressure) line to the muffl er and a carb line.
Filling and emptying of the tank would need to be done through
the carb line, or an optional fuel fi ll valve (not included). The
tank can also be assembled as a three line system (additional fuel
clunk not included) having a vent line, carb line, and fi ll line.
If installing a fi ll line, puncture the top of the stopper above the
sealed off fuel tube hole (the photos show the installation of a
fi ll line). The fi ll and carb lines should extend out 1/2" [13mm]
beyond the stopper and the vent line should be bent upwards
and left uncut. With the tubes installed in the stopper, fi t the
stopper plates loosely in place with the 3 x 25mm phillips screw
to hold the assembly together.

3. Fit the stopper assembly into the tank with the vent line
pointing toward the top of the tank, but not touching. The fuel
tubing and clunk (fuel pickup) on the carb line should almost
reach the back of the tank but not touch. The clunk(s) must be
able to move freely inside the tank when assembled. Adjust the
length of the fuel tubing accordingly. When satisfi ed, tighten
the 3x25mm screw in the stopper to secure it in place (do not
over-tighten). Mark the side of the tank that must face up when
installed in the plane, and we also suggest marking the tubes in
the stopper.
