Glow Engine Installation

The Matt Chapman Eagle 580 .46 ARF is designed to be
fl own with a .46 to .61 two-stroke glow engine, .52 to .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 4-stroke engine is shown in this section. The installation
of a 2-stroke engine will require the same procedure. A
Pitts style is recommended to minimize the amount
cutting required of the cowl. The stock muffl er can be
used. However, a section of the cowl will need to be cut
away to accommodate the muffl er body.
❏
1. 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 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
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.
