10. Locate the plywood fuel tank support. Glue it in place 

behind the fuel tank as shown.

❏ 

11. Cut the fuel tubing coming from the tank to the proper 

length and connect the pressure and carb lines to the engine. 
The fi ll line should be plugged with the included aluminum 
fuel line plug and able to hang free from the bottom of the 
plane.  Be  sure  to  replace  the  fuel  line  plug  after  fi lling  or 
draining the fuel tank.

❏ 

12. Cut the threads off the end of the 2-56 x 12" [305mm] 

pushrod wire. Install one end of the wire into the screw 
lock connector on the throttle servo. Apply thread locking 
compound to the set screw and then tighten the set screw 
against the wire.

❏ 

13. Install another brass screw lock connector, nylon 

retainer and 4-40 x 1/4" [6.4mm] set screw to the outer hole 
of the throttle arm.

13. From inside of the fuselage, slide the opposite end 
of the wire into the plastic tube you installed. As the wire 
exits the fi rewall, slide the wire through the screw lock 
connector. Temporarily tighten the set screw to the wire. 
You will make the fi nal adjustments to this when you 
fi nalize the radio installation.

❏ 

14. Position the throttle servo behind the fuel tank 

as shown. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each of the 
mounting holes into the plywood fl oor. Thread a #2 x 3/8" 
[9.5mm] screw through each hole and back it out. Apply a 
couple  drops  of  thin  CA  glue  to  each  hole  to  harden  the 
wood. When the glue has dried, install the servo tray.
