Hook Up The Throttle - GREAT PLANES Christen Eagle II Instruction Manual

7. Insert the stopper and lines into the tank, but do not tighten
the stopper. Use a felt-tip pen to write "top" on the top of the back
of the tank so you won't inadvertently install it upside-down.
8. Place the tank in the fuselage in the upper or lower
location. Push the neck of the tank through the hole in F-1.
Secure the tank and expand the stopper by tightening the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
9. If the tank is mounted in the lower location, apply a
liberal amount of epoxy mixed with microballoons to the front
of the plywood fuel tank former, then slip it over the tank and
push it forward until it contacts the former. Place the
fuselage vertically on its nose until the epoxy hardens.
10. Use a couple of #64 rubber bands to hold the tank
in position.

Hook Up the Throttle

1. Glue the plywood servo tray and aft servo tray brace
into position where shown.
Refer to the following photos while hooking up the
throttle. The setup shown is for the Fuji 50.
2. Mount the throttle servo in either of the two locations
that will work best for your engine. Determine how you will
be connecting the throttle to the carburetor arm on the
engine. The hardware in the photos is supplied with this kit,
but other hardware may be substituted as necessary for
your particular engine setup and preferences. Note: Do not
use full-length, all metal pushrods for the throttle on spark-
ignition engines.
3. Use an extended 3/16" [4.8mm] drill bit or a 3/16"
[4.8mm] brass tube sharpened on the end to drill holes
through F1 and the former behind it to pass the 3/16" x 24"
[4.8 x 610mm] throttle pushrod guide tube. Be certain not
to drill into the fuel tank!
4. Cut the guide tube to the correct length, then use
coarse sandpaper to roughen the outside so glue will adhere.
RETAINER
5. Connect a brass screw-lock connector to the throttle
servo arm with a nylon retainer. Partially thread a 4-40 x 1/8"
[3mm] socket head cap screw into the screw-lock connector.
