Pull the rudder cables to the servo and thread

a swage on each. Fit cable through hole in

threaded coupler and back through the swage.

Do both cables at the same time and pull both

tight before crimping swage. Make sure servo

is centered and rudder is centered. Pull both

cables tight and crimp swage.

Engine Installation

1.

Collect the following items:

(2) Motor mounts
(4) 4 mm bolts
(4) 4mm blind nuts
(4) flat washers
(4) 3.5mm x18mm screws

2.

Draw a line across the firewall in the center.

Draw a line down the firewall offset 3/16” to the

left side of the plane. The 3/16” will compen-

sate for the 2 degrees of right thrust built into

the firewall. Note: The firewall will have a 1“

hole in the center not shown on the photo.

3.

Clamp your motor between the beams of the

two mounts and set flat on the work bench.
Make sure the motor is square to the table and

both mounts sit flat.
Put a scrap piece of wood in the prop mount

and measure both sides to make sure it is

square. The distance from the table to the front

of the thrust washer (scrap wood ) will have to

be at least 6-1/4” to clear the front of the cowl.

If you cannot get this much by moving the

engine to the front of the mounts, you will have

to shim the mounts out. Our OS 1.20 fit all the

way to the end of the mounts.

4.

With the motor clamped in place, mark the

location of the mounting holes. Drill a 1/8” hole

and screw the motor in place using the 3.5mm

screws. Be careful and don’t over torque the

screws or they will break.
