❏ 

4. Mount the main landing gear to the fuselage using four 

6-32 x 3/4" [19mm] screws, four #6 fl at washers, four #6 lock 

washers and thread locking compound.

❏ 

5. Install the tail wheel onto the tail wheel wire and secure 

it in place with a 3/32" [2.4mm] wheel collar and 4-40 set 

screw. Oil the axle as necessary.

INSTALL THE ENGINE

❏ 

1. The fuel tank can be assembled as a two line system 

consisting of a vent (pressure) line to the muffl er and a 

carb line. Filling and emptying of the tank would need to be 

done through the carb line, or an optional fuel fi ll valve (not 

included). The tank can also be assembled as a three line 

system having a vent line, carb line, and fi ll line. If installing 

a fi ll line, puncture the top of the stopper above the sealed 

off fuel tube hole. The fi ll and carb lines should extend out 

1/2" [13mm] beyond the stopper and the vent line should be 

bent upwards and left uncut. With the tubes installed in the 

stopper, fi t the stopper plates loosely in place with the 3 x 

25mm phillips screw to hold the assembly together.

❏ 

2. Fit the stopper assembly into the tank with the vent line 

pointing toward the top of the tank, but not touching. The 

fuel tubing and clunks (fuel pickup) on the carb and fi ll lines 

should almost reach the back of the tank but not touch. The 

clunks must be able to move freely inside the tank when 

assembled. Adjust the length of the fuel tubing accordingly. 

When satisfi ed, tighten the 3x25mm screw in the stopper to 

secure it in place (do not over-tighten). Mark the side of the 

tank that must face up when installed in the plane, and we 

also suggest marking the tubes in the stopper.

❏ 

3. Make a 10" [254mm] strap from the included hook 

and loop material by overlapping the mating ends of two 6" 

[152mm] pieces of strap by approximately 1" [25mm].
