ASSEMBLE THE DROP TANK
❏
1. Locate the parts shown here. Glue the two plywood
plates together. Use the two wood dowels to align the
two plates when gluing them together. Do not glue the
wood dowels to the plates
❏
2. Locate the top half of the drop tank. Cut the two
holes and the center slot from the part. These holes
will match with the plywood parts you glued together.
❏
3. Glue the dowels into the holes as shown.
❏
4. Test fi t the plywood assembly into the top half
of the drop tank. Once you are satisfi ed with the fi t,
glue the plate inside of the drop tank. Use some 220
grit sandpaper to roughen the plastic, giving the best
adhesion between the plastic and plywood.

5. For the next step it will be extremely helpful if you
can either use a servo driver to move the servo arm
during this installation or put a long servo extension on
the servo and plug it into your receiver, allowing you
to use your radio to move the servo arm. Locate the
hard fi ber drop tank retainer. Test fi t it onto the release
pin. The fi ber drop tank retainer should fi t loose on the
release pin. If it is too tight open the hole with a drill bit.
