11. Assemble the fuel tank as shown. Included with the
fuel tank hardware is a 24" [610mm] length of fuel tubing.
This will be used for attaching the tank to the carburetor and
muffler pressure tap. If you will be using a fuel valve (not
included) for filling the tank rather than filling the tank by
removing the line from the carburetor, install it in the fuel line
following the instructions included with the valve.
❏
12. Install the fuel line included with the kit onto the tubes
extending from the fuel tank. Insert the lines and the fuel
tank into the fuselage. Hold the tank in place with a couple
of #64 rubber bands. Attach the carburetor line to the
carburetor. The vent line can be attached later when the
muffler is permanently installed.

1. Use card stock as a template for making the cut out in the
cowl. Tape the card stock to the fuselage behind where the
cowl will be mounted. Mark the card stock where the engine
extends outside of the cowl. Cut that area out of the card stock.
❏
2. Remove the engine from the mount; slide the cowl onto the
fuselage. (If you are installing the O.S. .91 four-stroke engine,
you can remove the rocker arm cover and the cowl will fit over
the engine without removing it.) Tape the cowl to the fuselage.
Trace the pattern from the card stock onto the cowling.
❏
3. Remove the cowl from the fuselage. Cut out the area
you have marked. A high speed rotary tool works well for
this. Try to cut as closely to the area outlined as you can. You
will be making adjustments to the cut out as you continue
with the installation of the cowl. The goal now is to just be
able to slip the cowl over the engine and onto the fuselage.
❏
4. Reinstall the engine onto the engine mount. Slide the
cowl over the engine and onto the fuselage.
❏
5. Locate the five 1/8" [3mm] balsa disks shown. Glue the
three smaller disks to each other forming a 3/8" [9mm] thick disk.
The inside diameter of these disks is designed to fit over the
thrust washer of the O. S. .91 two-stroke engine and the O.S. .91
four-stroke engine. Depending on the engine you are installing
you may have to slightly enlarge the inside diameter of the disks.
If necessary, enlarge the disks just enough to fit snugly over the
engine thrust washer. Once the disk fits, glue the 3/8" [9mm] disk
onto the large disk inside the location marks on the disk.
