Gas Engine Installation - GREAT PLANES GIANT BIG STIK XL 55-61cc/EP ARF Instruction Manual

6. WARNING: Check the rotation of the motor without the
propeller or propeller nut installed. Switch on the transmitter
and then receiver. Connect the motor batteries to the
ESC. Slowly advance the throttle and make sure it rotates
counterclockwise when viewed from the front. Follow the
instructions included with the ESC to change the direction
if needed.
7. While the prop is removed, set up the throttle fail-safe
in your radio system.
8. Make a hook-and-loop strap to secure the motor
batteries on the battery tray. We recommend that a couple
of pieces of adhesive backed Velcro (not included) be attached
to the battery tray and the bottom of the batteries.

Gas Engine Installation

1. The fi rewall has two sets of engine mounting bolt patterns
embossed on it. The "+" are for the DLE-55 Rear Exhaust
and the DLE-61 Side Exhaust gas engine. The "x" are for the
DLE-55 Side Exhaust and RimFire 65 Electric Motor. In the
back of this manual we provide a paper template for mounting
the O.S. GT 60 gas engine. If you are installing an engine with
a different mounting bolt pattern, the fi rewall has crosshairs
embossed on it to help locate the correct mounting locations.
The crosshairs are offset for right thrust.
2. Drill through the fi rewall at each appropriate mark.
3. Install the engine using the standoffs included with the
DLE engine. The O.S. engine requires the 2" (51mm) Standoffs
(OSMG8962) (not included). We recommend using fender
washers (not included) under the bolts on the backside of
the fi rewall. The larger washers will help distribute the load
from the engine.
