Instruction Manual
9. Install the remaining wheel onto the axle using
the two wheel collars and set screws provided.
The wheel should be centered on the axle with
a wheel collar on each side, holding it in place.
Tighten the set screws on the collars to secure
them in place. The wheel should rotate freely.
You should apply a small drop of Lock_tite
thread lock to each set screw to prevent them
from coming loose.

ENGINE INSTALLATION

PARTS REQUIRED
• (4) 3mm x 25mm wood csrews
• (1) 1.3mm x 500mm wire.
• (1) 3.5mm x 350 mm nylon pushrod housing.
• (1) Metal connector.
INSTALLING THE THROTTLE
PUSHROD HOUSING
1. Place the engine into the engine mount and
align it properly with the front of the cowling.
The distance from the firewall to the front of
the engine thrust washer should [100mm]
If your engine is equipped with a remote needle
valve, we suggest installing it into the engine
at this time.
2. When satisfied with the alignment of the engine,
use a pencil and mark the mounting hole
location onto the firewall, where the throttle
pushrod will exit.
3. Now, remove the engine. Using a 5mm drill bit,
drill holes through the firewall and the forward
bulkhead at the marks made.
4. Slide the pushrod housing through the hole in
the firewall, through the hole in the forward
bulkhead, and into the servo compartment.
5. Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A to the
pushrod housing where it exits the firewall and
where it passes through the forward bulkhead.
This will secure the housing in place.
6. Using a modeling knife, cut off the nylon pushrod
housing 26mm in front of the servo tray.
installing the engine
Locate the long piece of wire used for the throttle
pushrod. One end of the wire has been pre-bend in
to a "Z" bend at the factory. This "Z" bend should be
inserted into the throttle arm of the engine when the
engine is fitted onto the engine mount. Fit the engine
to the engine mount using the screws provided.

FUEL TANK
PARTS REQUIRED
· (1) Nylon fuel tank.
· (1) Metal clunk.
· (1) Silicon tube.
· (1) Pre-assemble stopper.
· (1) 165mm x 250mm foam.
INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY
1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at the factory.
2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of silicon
fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line is
calculated by how the weighted clunk should rest
about 8mm away from the rear of the tank and
move freely inside the tank). Connect one end of
the line to the weighted clunk and the other end
to the nylon pick up tube in the stopper.
3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a
45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.
4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down at a
45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter). This
tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve
!
When the stopper assembly is installed in the
tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.
