Section 12: Installing the Engine

Parts Needed
• Engine
• Engine mounting bracket (2)
• Engine mounting screws and nuts (4 each)
• Fuselage
1. Remove the two engine mounting brackets, four 4x20mm
screws and four 4mm nuts from the hardware bag.
2. Position the engine (without muffler) on the motor mount so
the center line of the engine is in line with the center line of the
fuselage (center the engine in the motor mount).
Note: On some engines, it may be necessary to remove a
small section of the fuselage sidewall to allow
clearance for the needle valve.

Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Phillips screwdriver (medium)
• Thread lock
3. Place one engine mounting bracket across each of the engine
mounting lugs as shown.
Note: The "dimpled" side of the engine mounting bracket is
the bottom, and therefore the smooth surface should
face upward.
4. Insert one 4x20mm screw into each of the engine mounting
bracket holes. Press one of the 4mm nuts into the corresponding
receptacles on the bottom of the motor mount. Apply thread lock
to secure the nut in place and firmly tighten the screw. Repeat
the procedure for the other three screws.
