Fuel line
hookup
Prep a 1" piece of antenna tube to use
as the fuel line fitting.
Use the 1" fitting to secure the fuel
line from the tank to the needle valve. This joint is where you will fuel the
tank as well.
Throttle
linkage
Prep the throttle servo horn as shown
here.
Then put a Z bend in one end of the 1/16" throttle
linkage.
Place the linkage on the carb and bend
as shown.
Then make the second bend as
shown.
Then with the radio system on again,
center the throttle stick and set the trim all the way up.
Place the carb barrel at 40% power and
mark the location for the other Z bend.
Then remove the wire and make that Z
bend.
Then install the linkage and tweak it so that the
throttle will shut off it the stick is pulled all the way back no matter where
the trim is set. This way if you need to abort a launch you will be shutting off
the engine by pulling the throttle stick all the way back with out having to
pull the trim all the way back as well.
When the throttle is set correctly. Secure the
servo horn with the screw.
Installing the
muffler
Then bolt on the muffler and hookup the
vent line to it.
CHECK THE CG and adjust if not
correct.
Move the fly-bar in or out on the fly-bar bracket to adjust
the CG.
The front wheel should be 1 to 1 1/2'' off a flat level
surface when the main frame is lowered by the fly-bar and the rear wheels
touch.
