1) Installthe rubber grommets and brass
colletsonto thethrottleservo. Testfittheservo
into the throttle servo mount.
INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS.
Because the size of servos differ, you
mayneedto adjust the sizeoftheprecutopen-
ing in the mount. The notch in the sides of the
mount allow the servo lead to pass through.
8) Use plywood template to hold in place
the fuel tank with C/A glue to secure the fuel

FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you attach
fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once
thetank is installed inside thefuselage,it may
be difficult to determine which is which.
7) Slide the fuel tank into the fuselage. Guide
the lines from the tank through the hole in the
firewall.
4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.
5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away from
therear of thetank and move freely inside the
tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
