3. Install a servo arm downward and angled towards the

rear of the plane.

4. If you have not already done so, install the muffler for

your engine. The throttle pushrod will need to be routed so it
will clear the muffler.

5. Install a brass screw-lock pushrod connector, nylon

retainer ring and a 4-40 x 1/4" [6 mm] SHCS onto the outer
hole of the servo arm. Bend a .074 x 12" [305 mm] threaded
rod to fit from the throttle servo arm to the throttle carburetor

arm. When bending the wire, be sure that you have clearance
between the pushrod and any of the engine/muffler
components. Metal contact may create radio interference.
Thread a 2-56 nylon clevis and silicone clevis retainer onto the
threaded rod and connect it to the carburetor.

6. Using your radio system, adjust the throttle servo and

carburetor arm movement as desired.

1. Locate the fuel tank. The hardware needed for the fuel

tank assembly is inside of the tank. Remove the stopper and
shake out the contents.

2. The fuel system for the Yak 54 1.60 ARF utilizes a three

line system. There is a fill and drain line, carb line, and vent
line (to muffler). The fill and drain line will allow fueling and
defueling without removing the cowl. The fill line is optional
and may be omitted if desired.

3. Slide the three aluminum fuel tubes into the rubber stopper.

4. Cut the fill line and carb line tubes such that the tubes

extend 1/2" [13 mm] out from both ends of the stopper. The
vent line should be bent upwards and left uncut.

5. Install the metal plates on the front and back of the

stopper and loosely thread the 3 x 26mm [1"] Phillips screw
through the plates.

6. Attach a silicone fuel line 6" [153 mm] in length to the

carb tube on the stopper. Install the included fuel clunk onto
this line. If you want to have the ability to drain the fuel tank
through the fill line, install another piece of silicone fuel line
and a fuel clunk onto the fill line.
