❏
4. Position the engine so that the face of the drive washer is
4-1/2" [114mm] from the front of the fuse. Use a Great Planes
Dead Center
™ Engine Mount Hole Locator or your own method
to mark the engine mount holes onto the engine mount.
❏
5. Remove the engine from the mount. Drill #29 (17/128")
holes through the mount at the marks you made. Tap 8-32
threads into the mount. Mount the engine to the mount using
four 8-32 x 3/4" [19mm] socket head cap screws, #8 flat
washers and #8 lock washers.
❏
6. Mark the position of the throttle pushrod on the firewall.
Remove the engine. Drill a 5/32" [4mm] hole through the
firewall for the throttle pushrod. Find the 17-1/2" [444mm]
plastic outer pushrod, insert it into the hole until only about
1/4" [25mm] shows outside of the firewall as shown above,
and glue it in place.
❏
7. Arrange the stopper
and tubes as shown in the
photo and then insert
them into the tank. Do not
tighten the screw to
expand the stopper. You
will do that in the next
step. Be certain the fuel
line weight (clunk) at the
end of the fuel line inside
the tank does not contact
the rear of the tank.
Otherwise, the line may become stuck above the fuel level and
stop the fuel flow. Remember which is the carb line, vent and
fill tubes. You can mark the tubes with a Top Flite Panel Line
Pen if you wish.
❏
8. Install the fuel tank in the fuse. Fit the neck through the hole
in the firewall. Be certain you install the fuel tank inside the
fuselage with the vent tube pointing up and the fill tube down.
Tighten the fuel tank screw. Use silicone sealant around the
fuel tank neck to prevent fuel or exhaust dirt from spilling into
the fuel tank compartment.
❏
9. Cut the fuel line in three 6" [152mm] length sections.
Install the three sections of fuel line on the three fuel tank tubes.
Mark the fuel lines so that you know what each one is for.

1. Find the .074" x 17-1/2" [444mm] threaded on end
pushrod, a clevis and a silicone retainer. Thread the clevis
