ENGINE INSTALLATION AND FUSE COMPLETION
For clarity, the engine installation is shown in many small steps
rather than a few general ones, It is not difficult — just thor-
oughly explained.
NOTE: 4-Cycle engine installations are shown on next page.
1. Mount propeller and spinner (if used) on your engine.
2. Tape breakaway plate on engine bearers. IMPORTANT:
The cut-out in the breakaway plate is purposely cut on
an angle, The letter "R" on the breakaway must be on
the Plight side as shown. The “Right” side is thought of
as it would be to a pilot sitting in the cabin.
3. Position engine on breakaway so there is approximate-
ly 1/8" between fuse front and spinner back (or propeller
if spinner isn't used.)
3a. Notice the engine in the top view on the plan is angled
slightly to the right. This "RIGHT THRUST", although
small, is important.
View your model from above, and carefully measure dis-
tance from tail end to one propeller tip (propeller must
be horizontal). Then measure other side of model in
same manner. Left side distance should be about 5/16"
longer than right side. For example, if right side meas-
ures 45-3/8"", left side should be 45-11/16". Add 2-3
drops of SUPER JET to hold engine temporarily in
place.
LEFT SIDE DISTANCE SHOULD BE 5/16"
LONGER THAN RIGHT SIDE
