paper towel dampened with rubbing alcohol. This will
help the glue adhere to the tubes. Insert one of the
tubes into the upper hole in the firewall. Position the
tube so that approximately 1" protrudes out of the
firewall. Mix l/8oz. of 6-minute epoxy and glue the
guide tube into the hole in the firewall.
Note: If you are installing a 4-stroke engine, you will
need to drill a new 5/32" hole for the throttle pushrod.
Drill this hole so it lines up behind the carburetor arm
on your engine. The predrilled hole is not needed and
should be plugged with 6-minute epoxy.
Drill the steering pushrod exit hole
D 26. Drill a 5/32" hole through the firewall, 5/16"
from the bottom and 5/8" from the inside edge of the
fuselage side.
Install the steering guide tube
D 27. Slide the remaining guide tube into the 5/32"
hole you just drilled so about 2" - 3" protrudes. Mix
1 /8oz. of 6-minute epoxy. Glue the tube into the hole
and into the lower left notch inside the fuselage. Once
the epoxy has cured, trim off this tube so it is flush with
the firewall.
Make "Z" bends in the wire
D 28. Make a Z-bend at only one end of each of the
1/16" x 18" wire pushrods using needle nose pliers.
NOTE: Hobbico offers pliers that easily make perfect
Z-bends (HCAR2000). See your hobby dealer.
Trim the steering arm
D 29. Locate the black plastic steering arm. Hold the
steering arm in your hand so that the screw hole is
facing you. Using a wire cutter, remove the right side of
the arm.
Note: All directions are based upon you sitting in
the cockpit.
Install the steering pushrod
D 30. Attach the "Z" bend of one of the wires into the
hole closest to the center of the black plastic steering
arm. Slide the wire into the plastic guide tube so that
the screw hole on the steering arm is facing forward.
