F6F-5 Hellcat 15cc
175.
Place two hook and loop straps through the openings in the
fuel tank tray.
Apply a small amount of 5-minute epoxy to the straps
to secure them to the battery tray. This will prevent them
from falling through the holes when the battery is removed.
176.
Install the fuel tank tray in the fuselage by fi tting the notches
at the front into the slots in the fi rewall. Apply a drop of
threadlock on each of the M2 x 12 socket head cap screws.
Secure the tray using the two screws and two M3 washers.
Tighten the screws using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
178.
Connect the fuel line to the carburetor. Make sure to use a
fuel fi lter to prevent debris from entering the engine.
177.
Secure the fuel tank in the fuselage using the hook and loop
straps.
179.
Mount the fi ll line in the side of the fuselage using a fuel dot.
The overfl ow can be mounted on the bottom of the fuselage,
making sure it will not interfere with the cowling installation.
Route the lines as necessary.
183.
Use side cutters to trim the throttle pushrod so it does not
interfere with the operation of the throttle.
THROTTLE SERVO INSTALLATION
180.
Install the grommets and eyelets in the servos. Follow any
instructions included with the servo. Install the servo in the
fuselage with the servo output facing the outside of the
fuselage. Make sure to prepare the holes as outlined in the
aileron servo installation section of this manual.
182.
Without the servo arm on the servo, switch on the radio
system and center the throttle stick and trim. Install the servo
arm on the servo parallel to the servo centerline.
184.
Use medium CA to glue the fuel tank brace in the fuselage.
Position the brace so it also supports the throttle pushrod
tube and glue the tube to the brace.
Make sure the CA does not enter the tube,
which could glue the pushrod wire to the tube.
181.
Mount the throttle servo connector in the throttle servo arm
so it is 7/16-inch (11mm) from the center of the servo arm.
Place a drop of canopy glue on the M2 nut, then install it on
the underside of the arm to secure the connector.
It may be necessary to enlarge the hole in the
servo arm so the connector can rotate freely.
