Align the marks that are in line with the engine mounting
rails with the lines on the firewall. Align the center of the
engine with the lines on the firewall. Tack glue the mount to
the firewall.

4. When positioning your engine, be sure the engine is

centered, but also be sure it is positioned so that the muffler
will be centered over the fiberglass cutout on the left side of
the fuselage. When you are satisfied with the position of the
engine, mark the location of the holes in the engine mount
onto the firewall.

5. Remove the engine mount from the firewall. Drill four 1/8"

[3mm] holes though the firewall on each of the four marks.

in each of the four holes.

screws, 3mm lock washers and 3mm flat washers.

8. Drill a 3/32" [2.4mm] hole through the firewall, in line

with the throttle arm on the carburetor. Slide the white nylon
guide tube into the hole in the firewall, feeding it back to the
throttle servo. Cut the tube to length.
