IMPORTANT When you install the throttle control linkage assembly into the left-side nacelle in the next procedure, you will
notice that the pushrod wire crosses the nacelle at an angle. You will need to make a slight bend in the pushrod wire so that it won't
interfere with the fuel tank when it's installed later.

IMPORTANT If you're using in-cowl fueling valves, one of the 90º tubes included with each fuel tank is not used. If you're not
using in-cowl fueling valves, use two 90º tubes per stopper assembly - one for the vent and the second for the fill tube.
IMPORTANT The fuel tanks are assembled and installed on their side. The side with the moulded lettering is the top of the fuel
tank. Make sure to assemble both fuel tanks with the vent tube toward the moulded lettering (up).
q Mark and drill a hole through the firewall for the throttle pushrod wire,
then install the throttle pushrod wire onto your engine.
q Double-check that the pushrod doesn't bind.
IMPORTANT You will need to make a shallow bend in the pushrod
wire so that it will line up with the servo arm and not interfere with the
bulkhead in front of the throttle servo.
q Connect the throttle pushrod wire to your servo horn, using the adjustable
connector provided. The servo arm should point away from the landing gear
mount, as shown.
IMPORTANT Apply a drop of thin C/A to the nut on the adjustable
pushrod connector to keep it from coming loose during flight.
q Install the servo and the throttle control linkage assemby into the left-side
nacelle, using the same techniques that you used to install the throttle servo
and control linkage assembly into the right-side nacelle.
IMPORTANT Make sure that you install and connect both throttle control
linkages exactly the same way, so that both throttles will be synchronised
as closely as possible during flight.
q Assemble each of the two fuel tank stopper assemblies, using one straight
tube and one 90º tube. The straight tube is the fuel pick-up tube and the 90º
tube is the vent tube.
q Install the stopper assemblies into the fuel tanks, making sure that the
90º vent tubes are positioned toward the top of the fuel tanks (toward the
moulded lettering).
IMPORTANT Double-check to make sure that the clunks can move
freely inside the fuel tanks.
