Step 1

The engine box comes predrilled for the DA

100L and the blind nuts have been installed.

Use the standoffs provided in the kit to mount

the engine but go over the standoffs with thin

CA first. Then mount the engine temporarily

to mark the hole for your throttle rod. Mount

the throttle servo so the output shaft is

towards the aft of the aircraft. Drill through the

marked hole. Goal is to have a straight shot

at the servo arm. It has to pass through the

tri-stock and the balsa sheeting. Approximate

measurement is shown in the pictures below.

Use the rod and clevis provided in the kit for

the engine throttle arm and a Du-Bro 4-40

E/Z connector on the arm side or a Z-bend.

Remount the engine, make sure to use

threadlock on the bolts.
