10. Install fuel tubing from the tank to the engine and
muffler, following the instructions with your engine.
11. Drill a 5/64" [2mm] hole through the firewall in
line with the carburetor on your engine. Insert the 2 x
300mm [12"] nylon throttle tube guide through the
hole and into the radio compartment. Apply glue to the
end of the nylon pushrod, gluing it to the firewall.
12. Mount the throttle servo on the left side of the
servo tray as shown. (Refer to the picture on page 18,
"Install the Radio System", step 7 for the placement
of all of the servos in the fuselage). Install the screw-
lock connector onto the servo arm, securing it with a
2mm washer and nut. Apply a drop of thread locker
to the nut to prevent it from coming loose. Slide the
1mm pushrod wire into the tube and through the
hole in the screw-lock connector. Install the throttle
arm onto the z-bend on the end of the pushrod wire.
When the pushrod wire is secure on the throttle arm,
secure the throttle wire to the screw-lock connector
with a 2 x 2mm [1/16"] bolt.
MOUNT THE COWL
1. On the right side of the fuselage, mark the
location for the cowl mounting blocks. For the top
mounting block measure from the front of the fuselage
back 1-5/8" [40mm] and make a line. Measure up from
the bottom of the fuselage 3-1/2" [89mm] and make a
line intersecting the other line. Place a 15 x 15 x 10mm
[5/8" x 5/8" x 3/8"] hardwood block at the intersection
of the two lines. Trace the outline of the block onto the
fuselage. At the location of the block, cut the covering
from the fuselage.
At the front of the fuselage, measure up from the
bottom of the fuselage 3/4" [19mm] and make a
mark. Place a 15 x 15 x 15mm [5/8" x 5/8" x 5/8"]
block on this line, turning the block so the corners
are aligned with the front of the fuselage. Trace the
outline of the block and then cut the covering from
the fuselage. Glue both blocks to the fuselage with
6-minute epoxy. Repeat this procedure for the
blocks on the left side of the fuselage.
2. Next you need to slip the cowl onto the
fuselage. Depending on which engine you have
chosen to install, you may not be able to slide the
cowl over the engine. Most 2-stroke engines are
short enough to allow the cowl to slip over the
engine without interference. The O.S.
tall for the cowl to slide over but will fit if you
remove the valve cover.
3. For the next step you may find it helpful to have
an assistant. Position the cowl so the distance from
15
.91 is a bit too
