o 10. Install the .039" x 13-3/4" [1 x 350mm] throttle
pushrod with Z-bend into the outer pushrod and connect
the Z-bend to your engine throttle arm (you may need to
remove the arm from the carburetor to do this). Install a
screw-lock pushrod connector into the second from the
outer hole of the throttle servo arm, as was done for the
elevator and rudder servo. Test the servo arm onto the
servo. You may need to trim the end of the servo arm to
allow it to clear the side of the fuselage. Tighten the aft end
of the throttle pushrod in the screw-lock connector (do not
cut off the excess length of pushrod until you have used
your radio system to center the servo and have made your
adjustments to the pushrod length).
o 11. Trim the fuel tubing to length and connect the vent line
to the muffler and the carb line to the fuel inlet on the needle
valve. A nylon plug has been provided for the fill line, if you
installed one.
Out-runner Motor and
Battery Installation
The Combat P-47 ARF is designed to be flown with a .25
glow engine or a brushless out-runner motor. If you have
installed a glow engine, skip this section as it only contains
information relevant to installing a brushless motor.
o 8. Install the throttle servo into the servo bay, using the
same method used for the rudder and elevator servos.
o 9. Drill a 1/8" [3.2mm] hole through the firewall inline
with the throttle arm on the engine. Important! – Do not
drill into the fuel tank! If in doubt, remove the tank before
drilling your hole. Insert the 1/8" x 9-5/8" [3 x 245mm] outer
pushrod tube through the hole in the firewall. There is a
pushrod guide tube hole located just in front of the servo
tray. Run the pushrod guide tube through both holes and
glue the tube to the holes using CA glue. Be sure not to
get any CA glue on the inside of the tube. Trim the pushrod
guide tube so that it extends 1/2" [12.7mm] past the hole in
front of the servo tray, and is flush with the firewall.
