Install the Fuel Line

Vent / Overflow
(Connect to
fitting on Muffler)
One line is for Fueling and Defueling. The other line goes
to the Carburetor. It doesn't matter which line goes where
because they are both the same inside the fuel tank.
Mount the muffl er to your engine and connect the fuel lines
to the fuel tank as shown in the diagram. The line with the fuel
line plug goes to either of the "clunk" lines on the fuel tank
that will be used for fueling and defueling the tank (this line
must be plugged after fueling).
Proceed to "Final Assembly" on page 20

Four-Stroke Hookup

1. Install the screw-lock connector (not included) onto the
throttle arm as shown. Cut the threaded portion off of the 20"
[508mm] pushrod and then bend a 3/4" [19mm] radius loop
on one end of the wire. Slide the wire into the pushrod tube
and the screw lock connector. Secure the wire to the screw
lock connector with the set screw. NOTE - The location of the
carburetor arm may vary between engine brands so you may
need to cut a new hole in the fi rewall for the guide tube that
aligns with your carburetor arm. If you do, mark the location
of the new hole, remove the engine if necessary, and then
use an extended 3/16" [4.8mm] drill (available at hardware
or home improvement stores) or a 3/16" [4.8mm] brass tube
sharpened on the end to cut a new hole in the fi rewall.
2. Connect the throttle pushrod to the throttle servo using
a nylon Faslink in the same way as you did with the ailerons.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

Final Radio Installation

1. Install the Rx/battery tray in the fuselage using four
#3 x3/8" self-tapping screws and four #4 washers.
2. Wrap both the Rx battery and the receiver in 1/4" [6mm]
R/C foam rubber. Make a strap from the included hook-and-
loop material to mount the battery and the receiver to the
receiver tray as shown.
3. If using a 2.4GHz receiver, use the included tube to
mount one of the antennas to the formers as shown.
