FINAL ASSEMBLY

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.
❏
1. 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.

Final Radio Installation

❏
1. Wrap both the Rx battery and the receiver in 1/4" [6mm]
R/C foam rubber using tape to hold the halves together. Make
two straps from the included hook-and loop material to mount
the battery and the receiver to the receiver tray as shown.
❏
2. If using a 2.4GHz receiver, tape the antenna to the formers
as shown. If using a 72MHz receiver, guide the antenna down
through the fuselage.
❏
3. Of the four switch mounting locations pre-cut into the
fuselage sides, determine which one you will use for mounting
the on/off switch for the receiver as well as the battery charge
jack (or, if none of these is suitable, use the switch mounting
plate that came with your switch as a template for cutting
new holes). Note: For glow engines the switch should be
mounted on the side of the fuselage opposite the muffl er. Cut
the covering from the switch mount holes and mount the on/
off switch. Then connect the switch to the radio and battery.

Install the Canopy

❏
1. There are two options for installing the canopy to the
fuselage. The canopy can be glued to the fuselage with RC
56 canopy glue. If gluing the canopy to the fuselage, tape
the canopy to the fuselage with masking tape until the glue
completely dries.
