❑ Using a ruler, measure the distance from the firewall to
the back of the spinner backplate (front of the thrust washer).
Adjust the depth of the engine so the measurement is 5-7/8".
IMPORTANT If you're using a 1.08 or larger engine, the
distance from the firewall to the front of the thrust washer
should be 5-3/8".
☞
Measure from the firewall, even if you're using the
plywood spacer. Do not measure from the front of the spacer.
❑ Slide your spinner's backplate onto your engine and secure it in place using your engine's prop washer and nut.
❑ Set the engine onto the engine mounting beams.
❑ Using a pencil, mark the locations of the engine mounting holes onto the mounting beams. Remove the engine
and drill the holes through the beams using an 11/64" diameter drill bit. Be careful to drill the holes straight down and
not at an angle.
IMPORTANT Before mounting your engine in the next procedure, drill a 7/64" diameter hole through the firewall
for the throttle pushrod wire. Drill the hole near the side of the fuselage so it does not interfere with the fuel tank
when it's installed later. We located the hole 2" up from the bottom of the fuselage and 1-1/8" in from the side of the fuselage.
❑ Install the engine using four 4mm x 30mm socket-cap screws, eight 4mm flat washers and four 4mm lock nuts.
❑ # 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
❑ Excel Modeling Knife
❑ Scissors
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
❑ (1) 360cc Fuel Tank
❑ (1) Large Diameter Metal Plate
❑ (1) Small Diameter Metal Plate
❑ (1) Rubber Stopper
SECTION 14: FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
❑ (1) Fuel Pick-Up "Clunk"
❑ (1) 3mm x 20mm Machine Screw
❑ (1) Silicon Fuel Tubing
❑ (2) Aluminum Tubing
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
❑ Ernst Airplane Stand
❑ Ruler
❑ 220 Grit Sandpaper w/Sanding Block
Step 1: Assembling the Rubber Stopper
❑ Using 220 grit sandpaper, carefully smooth and deburr each end of the two aluminum tubes. This will prevent the fuel
tubing from being accidentally cut when it is installed later.
❑ Push the two aluminum tubes through the rubber stopper. Slide the large diameter metal plate over the tubes at the
front of the stopper and slide the small diameter metal plate over the tubes at the rear of the stopper.
