| 4 forum posts | I am not an experienced plan builder and though I have been able to follow the recent plan in the magazine so far it shows no detail of engine mounting, fueling access, plug access ect. HELP please |

 10322 forum posts 1231 photos 10 articles | The engine is mounted on a Radio Active long mount which is bolted to the box with 3 mm capheads going into blind nuts in the rear face of the front of the box.
Access to the plug is through a hole in the side of the cowling. You might need a long plug clip, I use one.
The fuel filler comes out of the left hand air intake. I glue a short stub of 1/8" dowel ino the intake and push the filler tube ont that to seal it after filling.
Sorry I didn't spot this thread for a few days. |

| 4 forum posts | Thanks Peter for your help. From what you say the engine is mounted on its side. The fueling idea is new to me, great, W.P. |
