Mounting the Engine
◎ The engine should be mounted on a firewall that will in turn mount to
the fuselage. The firewall should have enough strength to prevent
engine vibration. The firewall should be made from at least 5 mm
aircraft plywood.
◎ A tension free mounting is obligatory. The mounting surface should be
even. Mount the engine with high tensile bolts and stand-off spacers,
which are provided with the engine.
◎ Proper cooling is vital for gasoline engines. Intake area should be
more than 45*50 mm. Outlet area should be at least as 3 times as the
intake area.
Ignition Information

least 100 mm away from the engine and in the place where not

◎ Do not share the battery with receiver. Use separated battery for
ignition module. Equip an ON/OFF switch between the ignition
module and battery. Use a high quality switch such as Futaba HSW-J
or HSW-L heavy duty switch. Standard size receiver switches are
not recommended.
◎ Install the ignition module and make its cable, switch and battery
