5. Mount your ignition battery securely to the engine box. A good location is just
above the engine. The ignition switch should be mounted to the fuselage side wall
just behind the cowling, Secure all wiring connection neatly and firmly. See
pictures below for a typical setup.
6. The fuel tank is pre-assembled. Complete the installation in the fuselage using zip
ties or velcro straps to hold the tank in position. Connect a fuel line between the
tank and carburetor, a fuel line between the tank vent and the bottom of the
fuselage, and a fill line to a fueling dot which can be mounted to the fuselage side
opposite your ignition switch. Make sure your vent line does not come close to
any hot exhaust part such as the muffler. Slipstream recommends the use of
small zip ties or fuel line clamps to secure the lines to the tank.
COWLING INSTALLATION:
1. Fit the cowling in place and make any cutouts necessary to clear your engine and
exhaust components. Trial fit and trim as necessary being careful and accurate.
Use a spinner back plate to help alignment. Be sure to allow enough air exit area
in the bottom of the cowling to provide adequate airflow over the engine. When
satisfied with the final fit, attach the cowling to the fuselage using the supplied
screws.
2. Install the propeller and spinner. Gasoline engines are very powerful and can
cause damage to persons or property if propellers and spinners are not installed
properly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure your propellers
are well balanced, properly drilled, and display no cracks or chips.
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND ELEVATOR CONTROLS ASSEMBLY:
1. Locate the one piece stabilizer. Slide it in the stabilizer cutout in the back of the
fuselage and center it. To ensure squareness of the assembly, measure the
distance of the trailing tip of the wing to the trailing tip of the stabilizer on both
sides. Make sure that they are equal. Once this is done, mark the area where the
stabilizer meets the fuselage with a fine marker. Remove the stabilizer from the
fuselage and carefully cut the covering off.
