Step 4
Carefully insert the stopper assembly into the fuel tank.
Note the position of the vent tube; it must be up at the top
portion of the fuel tank to function properly. Tighten the
M3 x 20 screw carefully—do not over-tighten.
Step 5
Use a rotary tool to remove material from the inside of the
engine mount to fit your particular engine.
Step 6
Position the engine on the engine mount so the drive
washer is roughly 1/8" (3mm) forward of the sides of the
fuselage. Mark the location of the engine mounting bolts
using a felt-tipped pen.
Note: The engine must be far enough
forward so when the propeller and spinner
are installed, they don't bind on the front
of the fuselage. A quick check is to slip the
spinner backplate on and check for clearance.
Step 7
Use a 5/32" (4mm) drill bit to drill the holes in the
engine mount.
Hint: Remove the mounts and use
a drill press to get the holes in the
mount perpendicular to the mount.
