to install your servo properly using the same procedures
that you used previously.
We recommend that prior to finalizing your engine mounting,
remove the engine and the mount. Use epoxy or finishing resin
to coat the mount to protect it from oils and gasoline residue.
After the epoxy or resin has cured, re-assemble the engine and
mount. Then mount it permanently onto the firewall. We also
recommend that you use Threadlocker on all engine mounting
bolts. At this point go back to the 2-cycle glow engine
instructions and continue with any necessary steps there to
complete your gas engine installation.
Important Note: The fuel tank supplied with this model is
not set up for gasoline use.You will need to use the proper
equipment and set-up that is compatible
.
❏
1. Assemble the fuel tank. Arrange the stopper and tubes
as shown in the photo, then fit them into the tank. Tighten
the screw to expand the stopper, thus sealing the tank. 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 during flight and
discontinue fuel flow. Remember (or use a felt-tip pen to
mark) which tube is the fuel pick-up tube and which tube is
the vent (that will be connected to the pressure fitting on the
engine muffler).
❏
2. Install the fuel tank so the neck fits through the existing
hole in the former behind the engine-mounting box. Be certain
that you have installed the tank so the vent tube inside the tank
is pointing upward. Notice in the above photograph that the
former has been designed to allow rubber bands to hold the
tank in place. However,
due to the aerobatic potential of this
model aircraft, we strongly advise that you also secure it in
place with silicone or epoxy. Note
: There is a hole in the
bottom of the engine mounting box for the purpose of
routing the fuel lines through.
❏
3. Run the fuel line to the needle valve or if you are using an
Easy Fueler Valve
(GPMQ4160) as shown in the photograph
above, attach the fuel line to the valve first and then the needle
valve. Attach the vent line to the pressure tap on the muffler.
The Easy Fueler Valve can be mounted easily by using a
Great
Planes Handy Mounts
(GPMQ6000) which is also shown in
the photograph.
❏
1. Mark the location of the six
cowl mounting blocks
on
the forward fuselage former as shown in the photograph
above. Using 80-grit sandpaper, rough up the surface in this
area in order to allow a better glue joint. Use epoxy to glue
the six cowl mounting blocks to the front of the fuselage in
the locations shown in the above photograph. After the
epoxy cures, fuelproof these blocks using additional epoxy.
