2. Engine (or Motor) and Cowl –
a. If your use a glow-power engine, test-fit your engine, the engine mount, fuel lines, throttle pushrod and
all related engine-mounting hardware as shown below.
b. Using the spacing required by your engine’s mounting lugs, drill holes in the engine mounts and use
engine mounting bolts, washers and nuts (#6-7-8 above) to securely attach your engine to the engine
mounts. Test-fit the engine to the firewall using the vertical and horizontal guidelines drawn on the fire
wall to set the prop. shaft with the recommended amount of right thrust and down thrust. Drill 4 holes in
the firewall.
c. Use engine mounting bolts (#4 above) and blind nuts (install the blind nuts behind the firewall) to attach
the engine to the firewall.
d. Drill a hole and direct the throttle pushrod (#10 above) from the throttle servo through the firewall. (Be
careful to position the throttle pushrod’s hole so it will not interfere with the engine mount or fuel tank.)
e. Position the fuel tank (#1 above) on its shelf inside the fuselage behind the firewall with the clunk and
vent fuel lines passing through the firewall.
f. In preparation to mount the engine cowl (#9 above), remove the muffler from your engine.
g. As dictated by the design and dimensions of your engine, make opening in the engine cowl to access
your engine’s needle valves, allow cooling air into the cowl, and to let the muffler exit the cowl.
h. Attach the engine’s muffler to the engine with its provided hardware.
i. If you install an electric power system, position your batteries and ESC
on and beside the shelf behind the firewall.
a) Use blind nuts and bolts to secure your
motor and the motor-mounting box to the
firewall. (Obtain the recommended amount
of right thrust and down thrust by
maintaining the “L” and “R” orientations
marked on the sides of the motor-mounting
box.)
b) Protect the mounting bolts from vibration
with threadlock compound or CA adhesive.
c) Attach your ESC and confirm that the
motor runs in the correct direction by
connecting the ESC’s throttle lead to your
