Glow Engine Installation
This section contains installation steps for the O.S. 1.60
FX two-stroke engine. The Great Planes engine mount
supplied with this model is rated for 1.20 to 1.80-sized
engines. If you are using an engine outside of this range,
please use a suitable engine mount rated for it.

template for the engine you’re using. Center the template by
matching the template crosshairs with the fi rewall crosshairs.
Tape it in place and use a 3/16" [4.8mm] drill bit to drill four
engine mount holes on the fi rewall for the supplied engine
mount. A center punch or scratch awl can be used to make a
centering mark before you drill.

3/16" [4.8mm] drill bit for this.
❏ 3. Press four 8-32 blind nuts into the engine mount holes
you drilled. Press them in from the back side of the fi rewall.
You may need to use 8-32 bolts and washers to draw the
nuts into the holes.

❏ 5. Fit the two engine mount sides together. Center the
engine mount with the cross-hairs on the fi rewall and fi t
the mount to the fi rewall using four 8-32 x 1-1/4" [32mm]
SHCS, four #8 lock washers, and four #8 washers. Leave
the screws loose enough to adjust the width of the mounting
