5. Use two rubber bands to hold the fuel tank in place

as shown.

6. Connect the fuel lines to your engine setup as needed.

1. Locate the flexible white nylon pushrod, two 2-56 x 4"

[102mm] threaded pushrods, nylon FasLink, nylon clevis,
and a clevis retainer.

2. Solder the 2-56 threaded brass coupler to the non-

threaded end of a 4" [102mm] pushrod. Bend the pushrod as
shown and thread it into one end of the white nylon flexible
pushrod at least 14 turns. Thread a nylon clevis with silicone
clevis retainer onto the threaded end of the bent pushrod.

3. Slide the white pushrod into the throttle pushrod

tube that is preinstalled in the fuselage and connect the
clevis to the throttle arm on the engine.

4. Mount the throttle servo as shown in the photo.

5. Thread the remaining 4" [102mm] pushrod into the

white nylon pushrod 14 turns. Align the pushrod with the
servo arm and mark where the pushrod crosses the servo
arm. Make a 90° bend in the pushrod at this point and
attach it to the servo arm using a nylon FasLink connector.
Cut the excess pushrod off leaving 1/16" [1.6mm] extending
past the FasLink as shown in the sketch.
