Section 14: Fuel Tank Assembly & Installation - Model Tech Simply Magic Instructions For Final Assembly

Step 3: Aligning and Installing the Engine
Using a pencil, mark the locations of the engine mounting holes onto the mounting beams. Remove the engine
and drill the holes through the beams using a 1/8" diameter drill bit. Be careful to drill the holes straight down and not
at an angle.
Before mounting your engine in the next procedure, drill a 7/64" diameter hole through the firewall for the throttle
pushrod wire. Drill the hole 3/16" in from the side of the fuselage and 5/8" below the top of the firewall. This will
ensure the pushrod wire won't interfere with the fuel tank when it's installed later.
Install the engine using four M3 x 25 socket-cap screws, eight M3 flat washers and four M3 lock nuts.

(1) 240cc Fuel Tank
(1) Large Diameter Metal Plate
(1) Small Diameter Metal Plate
(1) Rubber Stopper
# 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
Excel Modeling Knife
Step 1: Assembling the Rubber Stopper
Using 220 grit sandpaper, carefully smooth and deburr each end of the two aluminum tubes. This will prevent the fuel
tubing from being accidentally cut when it is installed later.

YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
Set the engine onto the engine mounting beams and
temporarily install the spinner backplate onto the crankshaft.
Using a ruler, measure the distance from the firewall to
the back of the spinner backplate. Adjust the depth of the
engine so the measurement is 4-1/8".
Adjusting the engine to this depth will ensure that the
cowling lines up with the spinner when it's installed later.

(1) M3 x 20 Machine Screw
(1) Silicon Fuel Tubing
(2) Aluminum Tubing
Ruler
220 Grit Sandpaper w/Sanding Block
Push the two aluminum tubes through the rubber stopper.
Slide the large diameter metal plate over the tubes at the front
of the stopper and slide the small diameter metal plate over
the tubes at the rear of the stopper.
Using a ruler, measure the distance that the two aluminum
tubes protrude from the front of the stopper assembly. This
distance should be 3/8". If it is not, adjust the tubes by
pushing them forward or backward until you are satisfied with
the alignment.
