6. Place the mounting template on the ﬁ rewall. Use low-tack tape to

hold the template in position. Use a drill and 3/32-inch (2.5mm) drill

bit to drill the four holes in the ﬁ rewall to attach the motor box.

 When using power systems other than the recommended

choices, we advise using the mounting template as a test

to ensure hole alignment before drilling the firewall.

7. Remove the template from the fuselage. Use a drill and 9/32-inch

(7mm) drill bit to enlarge the holes from the previous step.

 Drilling increasingly larger holes allows the ability to

check the alignment of engine mounting holes. It also

helps reduce splintering of the firewall material.

9. Use medium grit sandpaper to roughen the outside edge of the

throttle pushrod tube. Cut the tube to a length of 7 inches (178mm)

using a hobby knife and #11 blade

10. Insert the tube in the hole. Leave 1/4-inch (6mm) of the tube

protruding from the ﬁ rewall. Use medium CA to glue the tube in the

ﬁ rewall.

8. Use the template to locate and drill the hole for the throttle pushrod

using a drill and 9/64-inch (3.5mm) drill bit.

 Make sure the throttle tube location matches the engine

selection. It may be necessary to drill the hole in a

different location than recommended by the template.

11. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering for the fuel

tank overﬂ ow.

 There are two choices for the overflow location in the

bottom of the fuselage. Open only one location.

12. Secure the fuel tank in the fuselage using hook and loop straps.

Use foam rubber under the tank to keep it from moving inside the

fuselage.

14. Route the overﬂ ow through the hole in the fuselage and ﬁ t the

overﬂ ow ﬁ tting to the tube.

15. Slide the ﬁ tting into position. Use the nut to secure the ﬁ tting in the

fuselage.

13. Slide a nut from the fuel overﬂ ow on the overﬂ ow tube coming from

the fuel tank.
