Step 3: Installing the Fuel Tank Assembly
Cut two pieces of silicon fuel tubing to a length of 8" and install them onto the aluminum tubes at the front of the tank.
For your convenience, we suggest marking the free ends of the tubing "vent" and "pick-up" so you don't confuse them
when it comes time to connect them to the engine later on.
Feed the ends of the fuel tubing through the predrilled hole in the firewall and slide the fuel tank into position, making
sure that the stopper assembly lines up with, and is pushed into, the predrilled hole in the firewall. When aligned properly,
the tank should be pushed forward as far as possible and the back of the tank should rest on the plywood tank support.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the top of the fuel tank is toward the top of the fuselage.
Cut and install several pieces of foam rubber between
the top of the fuel tank and the top of the fuselage to wedge
the back of the fuel tank securely into place.
Make sure the foam will not interfere with installation of
the throttle pushrod wire.
An alternative to securing the fuel tank into place is to use silicon adhesive to glue the back of the fuel tank to the
plywood tank support. If you do this, it would be a good idea to roughen the gluing surface of the tank so the silicon will stick
better to the plastic.
Step 1: Installing the Elevator, Rudder & Throttle Servos
Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto your elevator, rudder and throttle servos, making sure to install the
collets with the flanges toward the bottom of the servo.
