Step 9
Install the switch for the ignition in the switch hatch on the
side of the fuselage as shown.
Step 10
Secure the battery for the ignition inside the fuselage
using a hook and loop strap. Make sure to add a few
pieces of foam between the fuselage and battery to
prevent damage to the battery caused by vibration.
Connect the battery to the ignition switch.
Step 11
Attach the fuel line from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Make sure the line is from the clunk and not
the vent line.
Step 12
Route the vent line from the fuel tank out of the bottom of the cowling.
Step 13
Make any necessary cutouts to clear the engine
components in the cowling. Remove a section
from the bottom of the cowling near the exhaust
pipe for cooling outlet as shown. This opening is
necessary to allow cooling air to pass through
the cowling to prevent overheating of your engine.
Step 14
Slide and lock the cowling to the fuselage and
then secure the cowling with a screw. Mount the
propeller and spinner to complete the procedure.
Note: As the cowling mounting screw is inside the fuselage under the hatch, you need to open
the hatch before accessing the screw. To open the hatch, just remove the screws holding it on
both sides of the fuselage and lift the hatch from the fuselage.
