MOUNTING THE THROTTLE SERVOMOUNTING THE THROTTLE SERVO
1. First it will be necessary to construct a very simple servo
mount. Locate the laser cut pieces and the two 5/16” x 5/16”
x 7/8” wood beams. Lay down a small piece of wax paper on
a flat surface. Mix up some 5-min epoxy. Glue the beams into
the notches making sure they are square. Now glue in a
gusset under each beam.
2. Install the servo in the servo mount with four #2 x ½”
sheet metal screws. (not supplied). Orient it so the lead is
facing toward the back of the fuselage when mounted in
location.
3. Glue the mount to the side of the engine box using
thick CA or epoxy. Locate it 1-3/8” down from the top edge of
the engine box side and 3-3/8” from the inside of the firewall
to the front edge of the mount.
4. Drill a ¼” hole in the firewall 1-3/8” down from the top
edge adjacent to the engine shim. Prepare the 6” threaded
throttle pushrod. Mount a 2-56 hex nut and clevis on each
end. Adjust the clevis so that they will fit between the throttle
bellcrank and the servo arm. Tighten the nuts and install the
clevis keepers. Make necessary adjustments when first
running the engine.
MOUNTING THE FUEL TANKMOUNTING THE FUEL TANK
Before mounting the fuel tank it will be necessary to assemble
it. The stopper in the tank is required for gas. It can be used
for glow fuel but the pickup line will have to be changed to
silicone in case you decide to use a glow engine.
