Step 14 Removeable Pull Start Plate
Note that the pull start handle should be on the carburetor side. Align
the pull start plate keyholes to the bolts on the bottom plate, press
towards the engine and once the two plates are flush, rotate the pull
starter unit clockwise until it stops. Removal is just the opposite.
When choosing to use the removeable plate, the starter unit must
be removed prior to flying the model, as it could easily fall during
flight off from vibration.
A greater danger is the potential to generate sufficient RF
(radio) noise to cause radio gitching and in certain circum-
stances will force a PCM reciever into radio lock out, com-
monly resulting in a crash.
Step 16b Cooling Fan Shroud Mount Plate
Lay the cooling fan shroud mount plate onto the face of the
engine with the straight edge towards the cylinder head and
the access hole on the muffler side. Install four M5x8 socket
cap screws to secure the plate using L242 Blue threadlock.
Do not overtighten these bolts as they thread into the front
half of the aluminum cast engine crankcase. Dip a cloth in
rubbing alcohol and degrease the threads in the end of the
engine crankshaft. Apply liquid oil to the outside taper of
the engine crankshaft, the entire taper should be coated. Do
not get oil into the internal threads. Use Triflow or equiva-
lent oil.
Overtightening the fan hub in the next step can
cause these screw heads to interfer with the fan,
these can be shortened if necessary.

Look carefully at the bottom plate as there are four M4
threaded holes to the immediate right edge of each oval
slot. These are to permanently attach the pull start unit
to the bottom plate. Position the pull start unit to have
the handle point rearward when the handle is mounted
on the carburetor side of the engine. This will allow the
handle to be pulled without interference with the land-
ing struts. Attach using four M4x14 Phillips machine
screws using L242 Blue threadlock.
