 1. Remove the cover from the fuselage to allow
access for the fan assembly installation. Set the
cover aside in a safe place.
 2. Slide the thrust tube onto the fan assembly and
over the motor wires.
 3. Position the thrust tube on the fan assembly
so it is rotated as shown. This will leave the gap
necessary to fit the tube onto the fan assembly,
allowing for clearance between the thrust tube and
the fan mount to the fuselage.
 4. Use a felt-tip pen to mark the position of the
motor wires onto the thrust tube.
 5. Use hobby scissors to trim the thrust tube for the
motor wires. Set the thrust tube aside at this time as
it will not be installed until later in the manual.
Trim for motor wires
 6. Move the elevator pushrod tube upwards to
allow for the installation of the fan assembly.
 7. Guide the motor wires into the hole in the
fuselage former. The wires will be on the side of the
center line former that is away from the opening as
shown.
