Glow Engine Installation

This section contains installation steps for the O.S. 1.60
FX two-stroke engine. The Great Planes engine mount
supplied with this model is rated for 1.20 to 1.80-sized
engines. If you are using an engine outside of this range,
please use a suitable engine mount rated for it.

1. Turn to the back of this manual and cut out the drilling

template for the engine you’re using. Center the template by
matching the template crosshairs with the fi rewall crosshairs.

Tape it in place and use a 3/16" [4.8mm] drill bit to drill four
engine mount holes on the fi rewall for the supplied engine
mount. A center punch or scratch awl can be used to make a
centering mark before you drill.

2. If you are using the O.S. 1.60 FX two-stroke engine, drill

the hole for the throttle rod marked on the template. Use a
3/16" [4.8mm] drill bit for this.

3. Press four 8-32 blind nuts into the engine mount holes

you drilled. Press them in from the back side of the fi rewall.
You may need to use 8-32 bolts and washers to draw the
nuts into the holes.

4. Break the tangs out of each molded engine mount half

and grind off any remaining portion.

5. Fit the two engine mount sides together. Center the

engine mount with the cross-hairs on the fi rewall and fi t
the mount to the fi rewall using four 8-32 x 1-1/4" [32mm]
SHCS, four #8 lock washers, and four #8 washers. Leave
the screws loose enough to adjust the width of the mounting
