Cut three pieces of silicone fuel tubing and push them onto the tubes where they exit
the fueltank.
Mark the fuel lines using a felt-tip pen or coloured tape to indicate which is the fuel
feed, the overflow and the filler.
Fit the tank in the fuselage through the main opening, and thread the fuel tubes
through the hole in the nose bulkhead.
Connect the fuel feed tube (the one connected to the clunk pick-up inside the tank) to
the carburettor nipple, and route the overflow pipe down. At a later stage the
refueling line can be run to the outside through a hole in the cowl. Fit a rubber band
at the rear of the fueltank to prevent it shifting in flight.
Installing the engine
Place the engine on the two-part plastic engine mount; the distance between the
front face of the propeller driver and the rear face of the brackets should be about
152 mm. Mark and drill the screw-holes in the mount arms, and fix the engine to them
using the retaining screws provided. Apply UHU schraubensicher (thread-lock fluid)
to the screws to prevent them working loose.
The engine mount brackets should now be screwed to the nose bulkhead in such a
way that the centre of the engine is in line with the centre marking on the nose
bulkhead. Mark the position of the fixing screw holes on the nose bulkhead, and drill
the holes the correct diameter to accept the shank of the captive nuts. If you are
using an OS MAX 120 AX the fixing screw holes are already pre-drilled and the
captive nuts fitted. Of course, they will also fit any other engine with the same
crankcase width.
Fix the motor mount to the nose bulkhead, using UHU schraubensicher to secure the
screws in the captive nuts.
Mark and drill the hole for the throttle pushrod in the nose bulkhead.
You will need to remove the carburettor throttle arm in order to install the throttle
pushrod. Connect the Z-bend of the throttle pushrod to the carburettor throttle arm,
and slip the rod into the pushrod sleeve. Fit the sleeve through the hole in the nose
bulkhead, then through the bulkhead in front of the wing joiner tube. Thread the end
of the pushrod through the cross-hole in the swivel pushrod connector on the throttle
servo; install the pushrod connector at this point if you have not already done so. Re-
attach the throttle arm to the carburettor.
Set the carburettor barrel to the half-open position. Set the throttle servo to centre
from the transmitter, and tighten the grubscrew in the pushrod connector. Apply a
drop of UHU schraubensicher to the grubscrew to prevent it shaking loose. At a later
stage the throttle channel should be programmed so that the engine stops reliably
when the throttle stick and trim are at the bottom end-point.
Attach the silencer to the motor using the spacer supplied with it.
You will need to relieve the engine mount slightly to clear the pressure nipple.
