the airframe, reinforcing the adjacent
structure to absorb vibration. Use 4mm or
larger steel screws, preferably Allen type
hexagon socket head cap screws, with
washers and locknuts, for bolting the engine

THROTTLE LINKAGE
Before connecting the throttle to its servo,
make sure that the throttle arm and linkage
safely clear any adjacent part of the airframe
structure, etc., as the throttle is opened and
closed. Connect the linkage so that the throttle
is fully closed when the transmitter throttle
stick and its trim lever are at their lowest
settings and fully open when the throttle stick
is in its fully-open position. Carefully align the
appropriate holes in the throttle arm and servo
horn so that they move symmetrically and
smoothly through their full travel.
