❏
14. Position the outer pushrod tube so that the aft end is
approximately 1/4" [6mm] behind the front edge of the throttle
servo tray. Mark the tube at the firewall, remove it from the
plane and cut it to length at the mark you made. Use
sandpaper to roughen the ends of the pushrod tube, reinstall
it into the plane and glue the front end to the firewall.
❏
15. Attach a nylon clevis and a silicone clevis retainer to a 36"
[914mm] pushrod. Install a brass screw-lock connector onto the
throttle servo arm and secure it using a nylon retainer. Thread a
4-40 x 1/8" [3mm] SHCS loosely into the screw-lock connector.
Slide the pushrod through the aft end of the outer pushrod tube
and through the screw-lock connector on the throttle arm.
Connect the clevis to your throttle servo and adjust the positions
of the throttle arm on the carb and throttle servo arm. Use your
radio to ensure complete carb barrel rotation.When satisfied, cut
off the excess pushrod beyond the screw-lock connector.
❏
16. Clip the pushrod tube support onto the outer pushrod
tube near the throttle servo. Glue it to the pushrod tube and to
the throttle servo tray.
❏
17. Glue the cooling hole cover in place as shown.
❏
18. Finish the engine installation by connecting the fuel
lines to the muffler and carburetor. Use the included fuel line
plug for your fill line when not in use.

Assemble the Fuselage Hatch

The fuselage hatch has been designed to be easily
removable to allow you access to your radio equipment and
flight packs (if you have installed a brushless motor).
❏
1. Glue four magnets into the fuselage hatch as shown
with CA glue. Be sure that the magnets are securely glued in
place. Roughing up the magnets with sandpaper before
installation will improve adhesion. Apply a thin coating of
medium CA glue into each magnet hole. Put the magnets in
place and apply a skin coating of thin CA across the top of the
magnets overlapping onto the wood just around the holes.
Allow the CA glue to dry undisturbed without accelerator.
