2. Fit the stopper assembly into the tank with the vent
line pointing toward the top of the tank, but not touching.
The fuel tubing and clunks (fuel pickup) on the carb and fi ll
lines should almost reach the back of the tank but not touch.
The clunks must be able to move freely inside the tank when
assembled. Adjust the length of the fuel tubing accordingly.
When satisfi ed, tighten the 3 x 25mm screw in the stopper to
secure it in place (do not overtighten). Mark the side of the
tank that must face up when installed in the plane, and we
also suggest marking the tubes in the stopper.
3. For balancing purposes, a location is provided on the
underside of the motor mounting box for the receiver battery
when installing a lighter weight engine. The receiver battery
can also be installed behind the fuel tank or on the servo

tray. Make a strap from the included hook and loop material
by overlapping the mating ends by approximately 1" [25mm].
The total length of the strap will be determined by the size
of your receiver battery. Fit the strap through the slots in the
motor mounting box as shown.
4. Cut a piece of foam rubber to wrap around the pack and
securely strap it to the underside of the motor mounting box.
Feed the battery lead up through one of the lightening holes
in the mounting box and into the fuselage. We recommend
sealing the receiver pack (and foam rubber) in a plastic bag
to protect it from exhaust residue. Securely strap the receiver
pack to the motor mounting box.
5. Attach a 6" to 7" [152mm to 178mm] piece of fuel tubing
onto each line coming from the tank. Insert the tank into the
fuselage with the correct side facing up. Fit the neck of the
fuel tank through the hole in the fi rewall (if the tank neck
does not align with the hole in the fi rewall, rotate the stopper
assembly in the tank 180 degrees and fl ip the tank over).
