Glow Engine Installation
The Shoestring is designed to be fl own with a .46 – .55 two-
stroke glow engine, .70 – .81 four-stroke glow engine, or a
brushless outrunner motor. If you plan to install a brushless
motor, skip this section as it only contains information
relevant to installing a glow engine.

1. The fuel tank can be assembled as a two line system
consisting of a vent (pressure) line to the muffl er and a
carb line. Filling and emptying of the tank would need to be
done through the carb line, or an optional fuel fi ll valve (not
included). The tank can also be assembled as a three line
system having a vent line, carb line, and fi ll line. If installing
a fi ll line, puncture the top of the stopper above the sealed
off fuel tube hole. The front of the lines should extend out
1/2" [13mm] beyond the stopper and the vent line should be
bent upwards and left uncut. With the tubes installed in the
stopper, fi t the stopper plates loosely in place with the 3 x
25mm phillips screw to hold the assembly together.

2. Fit the stopper assembly into the tank with the vent
line pointing toward the top of the tank, but not touching.
The fuel tubing and clunks (fuel pickup) on the carb and fi ll
lines should almost reach the back of the tank but not touch.
The clunks must be able to move freely inside the tank when
assembled. Adjust the length of the fuel tubing accordingly.
When satisfi ed, tighten the 3x25mm screw in the stopper to
secure it in place (do not over-tighten). Mark the side of the
tank that must face up when installed in the plane, and we
also suggest marking the tubes in the stopper.

3. Make a 12" [305mm] strap from the included hook
and loop material by overlapping the mating ends by
approximately 1" [25mm].
