4. Attach the ignition module tray to the aluminum
engine standoffs with four nylon tie straps.
❏
5. Connect the ignition module to the ignition
switch and the engine. Use shrink tubing to secure the
connections.
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL
THE FUEL TANK
❏
1. Assemble the fuel tank stopper assembly with the
Tygon fuel tubes (not included) as shown. The easiest
way is to fi rst solder a fuel line barb (not included) onto
one end of all three tubes. Insert the tubes into the
stopper with the metal plates, and then solder a barb
onto the other end of the two short tubes. Bend the vent
tube and connect the pickup and fueling/defueling lines
(not included) to the short tubes. Connect the clunks to
the lines and secure the lines to the clunk and brass
tubing with the small tie straps.
❏
2. Install the fuel tank stopper assembly in the fuel
tank. Check that the clunks move around freely in the
fuel tank. Tighten the fuel tank stopper screw. Mark the
top of the fuel tank (the side the vent tube is on).
❏
3. Position the fuel tank in the fuselage and
determine how you want to run the fuel line. Drill holes
where necessary in the fi rewall for the line going to
the carburetor, the fi ll line and the vent line. Install an
aluminum fuel line plug in the fi ll line. Secure the fuel
tank in the fuselage with the rubber bands.
INSTALL THE RECEIVER BATTERY
❏
1. Glue the two plywood sides to the plywood receiver
battery tray.
❏
2. Position the receiver battery tray above the throttle
servo and receiver tray. Drill four 1/16" [1.5mm] holes
into the fuselage at the four screw hole locations. Use #2
x 3/8" [9.5mm] sheet metal screws and #2 fl at washers
to mount the receiver battery tray in the fuselage. Be
sure to harden the screw holes with thin CA.
❏
3. Wrap the receiver battery in R/C foam and secure
it to the receiver battery tray with two hook and loop
straps. Plug the receiver battery into the radio switch
harness. Use heatshrink on the connection. Install the
receiver battery in the fuselage.
