Installing the DLE-61 on Your Airplane
Note: The DLE-61 must be installed on at least a 9.5mm [3/8"]
thick 5-ply plywood fi rewall. The fi rewall must be securely glued to
the airplane. Use triangle stock and pin the fi rewall with hardwood
dowels to reinforce the fi rewall glue joints. Never install the
DLE-61 onto a fi rewall thinner than specifi ed because it may fail
due to the power of the engine.
Note: The length of the engine from the back of the engine mount
stand offs to the propeller drive washer is 9.44" [240 mm].
1. Use the supplied template (on the back cover of this manual) to
drill the engine mounting bolt holes.
2. Install the standoffs to the
fi rewall using (4) 5x20mm SHCS
with 5mm lock washers (not
included) and 5mm washers from
the back side and through the
fi rewall into the standoffs. Use
threadlocking compound, such as
Great Planes
®
Pro
™
Threadlocker (GPMR6060), on the screws. Next
install the DLE-61 to the standoffs using the included (4) 5x20mm
SHCS with 5mm washers. Be sure to also use threadlocker when
mounting the engine to the standoffs.
