3. Drill two 1/16" holes for the Release Mechanism's mounting

screws. Using the sketch above as a sample, drill four holes for the
drop tank positioning screws. The location of these screws will vary
from airplane to airplane. Use thin CA to harden all the holes. Install
the mechanism with two #2 x 3/8" screws included. Install the four
#4 x 5/8" sheet metal screws included at the outer holes. These
screws will be used to position the tank in the correct attitude.

❑

4. Install the tank on the Release Mechanism and tighten or

loosen the #4 x 5/8" screws until you get the desired tank position.
Ideally, the tank should have a slightly negative attitude so that it falls
away from the airplane as soon as it is released. Wick thin CA on the
screws to keep them from moving.
