NOTE:!!!
The next step is determined by what size
engine you will be using. If your engine is
a .28 or smaller you will place the fuel
tank against the rear bulkhead of the fuel
compartment. If your engine is a .30 or
larger you will position the fuel tank up
against the plywood fire wall. This
assembly manual and the plans show the
assembly for a .30 or larger engine.
If you are installing a .28 or smaller, you
will reverse the 1/16" x ½" x 4-5/8"cap
strip and the 1/16" x 2" x 4-5/8" sheeting
as shown below.
.28 C.I. or Smaller Engine
30
.30 C.I. or Larger Engine
Install the 1/16" cap strip across the main
ribs, at the plywood firewall, with thick CA.
This cap strip will also help lock in the fuel
tank when the fuel tank is installed.
