o 4 . With the engine still in place, mark the four mounting
holes using a pencil or a Great Planes Dead Center ™
Engine Mount Hole Locator (GPMR8130) to find the center
of each hole . Remove the engine from the mount and use
a #36 drill bit to drill four holes completely through the
mount . Tap the holes using a Great Planes 6-32 tap and
drill set (GPMR8102) .
o 5 . Install three pieces of medium-sized (standard) silicone
fuel line to your fuel tank lines (GPMQ4131) . Install the
engine to the mount using four 6-32 x 3/4" [19 .1mm] SHCS,
four #6 flat washers, and four #6 lock washers . Connect your
fuel feed line to the carburetor and the tank’s pressure line
to the muffler . Trim the fuel lines to the proper length, but
leave the tank pressure line a little long until you position the
muffler later .
o 6 . Connect a fuel line plug (fuel dot) to the fill line . Leave
this line about 9" [229mm] long . It will need to exit the cowl
out of the cooling air hole in the bottom of the cowl .
Rig the Throttle
o 1 . Depending on the side you installed the throttle pushrod
tube on, fit your throttle servo in the forward tray as shown .
Drill four holes using a 1/16" [1 .6mm] drill bit . Screw the
servo to the tray with the servo’s output shaft facing forward
as shown . Harden the screw holes with thin CA .
o 2 . Dry-fit the fuel tank mounting stick . Slide the mounting
stick onto the throttle pushrod tube first and then into the
slots in the fuselage . The side of the stick opposite the
pushrod support goes in first . Place a small piece of foam
rubber between the stick and the fuel tank if you wish . Cut
the plastic pushrod support tube about 1/2" [13mm] aft of the
mounting stick . Glue the fuel tank mounting stick in place with
a drop of medium CA on each side of the stick . If you need
to remove the fuel tank later, use CA debonder (GPMR6039)
to dissolve the glue and remove the stick .
