1. To complete this step you will need the following items
as shown in the photograph above.
#1 Fuselage (1)
#2 Muffler for Engine (1) (not supplied)
#3 Engine (1) (not supplied)
#4 Spinner (1)
#5 Propeller (1) (not supplied)
#6 Engine Mount, .61 size (1)
#7 Engine Mounting Straps (2)
#8 4mm x 20mm Machine Screws (4)
#9 4mm x 25mm Machine Screws (4)
#10 4mm Lock Washers (8)
#11 4mm Nuts (4)

2. Secure the engine mount to the firewall with four 4mm x
20mm machine screws and 4mm lock washers. Use
Threadlocker on the machine screws to keep them from
vibrating loose. Blind nuts are pre-installed behind the firewall.
❍
3. The engine’s mounting lugs are “sandwiched” between
the engine mount and the engine mount straps. Begin by
placing four 4mm lock washers onto each of the four 4mm x
25mm machine screws.
Pass two of the screws through the two engine mount straps
and place the screws through the back holes of the engine
mount as shown in the photograph. Place two 4mm nuts into
the recesses on the bottom of the engine mount. Start the
screws, but do not tighten them at this time.

NOTE: The engine in your airplane is mounted slightly different from that of most R/C aircraft. This is done to allow the use of many
different types of engines. It also allows a “no-drill” approach to ease the engine installation. Read through the procedure and
understand all the steps before actually performing them.
