1. Remove your engine’s upper right backplate screw as
shown, to install the metal pushrod guide bracket.
❏
2. Place your engine on the plywood engine mount so that
the drive washer extends 4mm [1/8"] beyond the front edge
of the engine mount plate. After removing the engine, mark
and drill the mounting holes using a 3mm drill bit.
❏
3. Install the engine pod supports with the 4 x 20mm
screws and 4mm washers but leave them a little loose so that
the supports can be adjusted to determine the proper width
for your engine.

• Standing behind the boat with both the vessel and
transmitter powered up, rotate the wheel to the left. The
back of the rudder should move towards the left. Move the
wheel to the right. The back of the rudder should move
towards the right. If this is not the case, simply move the
steering servo reverse switch to the other position.
• Use the knob marked steering rate D/R to adjust the
amount of rudder throw. Turning the knob clockwise
increases the amount of steering while turning the knob
counterclockwise decreases the amount of steering. Too
much steering can cause the air Force to flip over.
• Squeeze the trigger on the transmitter; this should open
the carburetor. For full stop, pushing the trigger forward
should close the carburetor completely.
• Your Airforce Airboat is now ready for action. Go to page 9
for information on running and breaking in your engine.
