5. Next slide the short length of fuel line over the clevis so
as not to forget it. Temporarily slide the clevis over the metal
cable and attach to the throttle arm of the motor. Position the
throttle arm so the carburetor barrel is half open.
6. Place the threaded coupler along side the clevis and mark
the approximate location to cut the cable. Using a rotary
tool and cut off wheel cut the cable at the mark. Solder the
threaded coupler to the cable and install the clevis.
POWER UP AND FINAL SET UP
Parts and tools you are going to need:
Small Phillips screwdriver
Clear plastic radio box cover (VS1 Kit)
Antenna mount and tube (VS1 Kit)
Hand drill
1/4" drill bit
Silicone sealer
1. If you have installed the servo horn screws, remove them
at this time. Pull the servo horns off the servo output shafts
and power up the radio. Allow the servos to center. If you
are using a multiple memory radio system, select a model
and rename your model VS1. Reinstall the servo horns and
check the directions and centering of the servos. Adjust the
throttle linkage so that you can fully open and fully close the
carburetor. Remember, you MUST be able to stop the engine
with the radio system or you could risk a disqualifi cation (DQ)
in one of your heats.
2. Pick a location in the top of the clear plastic radio box
cover and drill a 1/4" hole through it. Using a small amount
of silicone sealer place it around the base of the antenna
mount and bolt in place. You can fi nger tighten the nut on
the back side or use a 10mm wrench, but be careful to not
overtighten the nut.
3. If you are using the latest 2.4GHz technology, you can
shorten the antenna tube that exits the radio box by cutting it
down. Caution: Do not cut the antenna wire from the receiver.
Also, if you are using 2.4GHz you can just let the antenna fold
back as you slide the cowl in place. If you are using 75MHz
technology, you are going to have to drill a corresponding
hole in the top of the cowl to allow the antenna to protrude
through the top.
