Motor Mount - THUNDER TIGER Cloud Dancer 60 ARF Assembly Manual

Install the fixed landing gear assembly into the slots/holes in the
landing gear blocks. Secure with metal landing gear straps and screws.
Pre-drill the screw holes with a 1/16" bit.
VIII. Canopy
Install the instrument panel, and if desired, a pilot figure in the
cockpit. Trim the canopy to fit on top of the cockpit. Glue into place
using RC-56 canopy glue or equivalent. Locate the canopy trim tape
to give the canopy a finished look and a good seal.
IX. Fuel Tank
Assemble the fuel tank by first cutting the silicone tube to 3 1/8" in
length. Press the straight plastic nipple (the 90-degree nipple is not
used in this plane) into the rubber stopper (saliva will ease insertion.)
Now slip the silicone tubing onto the nipple and insert the metal
clunk into the other end of the tubing. Insert this assembly into the
tank clunk- first and securely tighten the threaded cap on to hold
everything together.
CANOPY/TANK/MOTOR MOUNT
Attach a 6" piece of standard fuel line (not furnished) to both the
fuel outlet nipple and the vent nipple on the tank. The vent nipple is
the top one with the hole.
Slide the fuel tank cap end-first into the front of the fuselage, threading
the fuel lines through the oblong hole in the firewall. The tubing
coming from the tank's fuel outlet (center) goes to the carb and the
tubing from the vent (upper) goes to the muffler's pressure fitting.
Trim the length as needed. Wedge some pieces of foam rubber or
"bubble wrap"(not furnished) beside and on top of the tank to gently
hold it in place.
Set your engine on the motor mount. We have chosen the Thunder
Tiger .61 engine, which will provide plenty of power for aerobatics
and general flying. With your engine on the mount, you will need to
measure 4 3/4"from the firewall to the front of the drive of the engine.
Mark the engine mounting lug holes. Use a 9/64" (3.5mm) drill bit to
drill the holes for the engine. Now install the engine using the four 4
x 24mm self-tapping screws. With the engine mounted in place, find
the throttle push rod wire and make a Z-bend at one end. Install and
attach the Z-bend end to the engine as shown in the picture.
