SILENCER
The FS-26S and FS-40S are supplied with silencers
as standard equipment.
Installation for FS-26S
Slide the silencer over the exhaust pipe, and secure it
with two set-screwssupplied with the silencer. Re-
check tightness of screws when engine is hot.
Installation for FS-40S
Screw the exhaust header pipe into the exhaust port
until it "bottoms", then unscrew it just sufficiently to
achieve the required exhaust outlet angle. Secure the
pipe in this position by tightening the locknut firmly
against the cylinder head with the wrench supplied.
Then, screw the silencer onto the end of the header
pipe and tighten locknut firmly. Re-check tightness of
locknuts when engine is hot.
LINKAGE OF THROTTLE LEVER
First, ensure that the throttle rotor is fully closed when
the throttle-lever is in the closed position. Adjust rotor
stop screw if necessary. Then couple the lever to the
throttle-servo so that the rotor is fully closed when the
transmitter throttle stick and trim lever are in the fully
retarded position.
