engine mount holes onto the rails. Use a center
punch at the marks to prevent the drill bit from
wandering, then drill 1/8" [3.1mm] holes through
the plates. Be sure to hold the drill perpendicular to
the rails. If you have access to a drill press, this is
a good tool for this purpose. Use four 3mm x
14mm machine screws, four 3mm nuts and four
3mm lock washers to secure the engine to the
mount. Use threadlock on the nuts to prevent
loosening.
4. Use the four 3mm x 12mm machine screws
and four 3mm lock washers to secure the engine
mount plates to the engine mount. Use threadlock
on the nuts to prevent loosening.
5. There is a 9/64" [3.6mm] hole in the firewall
for the throttle pushrod. Depending on your engine
selection, you may drill a new 9/64" [3.6mm] hole
for better pushrod placement.
6. Roughen the outside surface of the 13-3/4"
[350mm] throttle pushrod tube with coarse grit
sandpaper. Insert the pushrod tube through the
hole in the firewall which is in line with the throttle
arm on your engine. Push it in until about 1/4"
[6mm] of the tube is left exposed forward on the
firewall. Use medium CA to glue the tube to the
firewall, but leave it free inside the fuselage until
the servos are installed.
Fuel Tank Installation
Note: There are three holes in the fuel tank
stopper but not all of the holes go all the way
through and only two are used for this model. Do
not puncture the third hole in the stopper.
1. Push the two aluminum tubes through the
rubber stopper until 1/2" [13mm] protrudes from
the front of the stopper. You will need to puncture
the rubber stopper on the back to push the tubes
through. Slide the large cap onto the front of the
stopper, and the small cap onto the back. Push
one end of the silicone pickup tube all the way onto
the clunk, and the other end all the way onto the
short aluminum tube. Insert the stopper screw into
the center hole in the front cap, then screw it
through the stopper into the aft stopper cap. Just
start the threads in the aft cap or you won't be able
to insert the stopper into the tank.
2. Bend the long aluminum (vent) tube upward
at about a 45-degree angle, being careful not to
