Fuel tank
Connect the fuel tank to the clunk as the photo.
Check that there is no leak before to fit it in
fuselage.
Drill a 3 mm hole in the bottom of the fuselage for
the fuel vent
The fuel tank is connected to the small catch tank
(200 cc) or UAT catch tank to be sure that there is
no bubble in the fuel line.
The tubing from the main tank to the catch tank and
to the catch tank to the fuel pump must be gasoline
tubing (no silicone tubing). Also for the air vent tube.
The catch tank is glue with double face tape or with rubber band on the top of
the main tank.
Hold the fuel tank with rubber bands or silicon glue
Filling the fuel
tanks :
Connect your pump
and fill the system
in direction of the
tank. It will first fill
the catch tank and after the main tank. The
main tank will be full when fuel come from
the air vent tube.
When tanks are ful, close the filling tubing.
Do not close the air vent tube after.
The system is ready for starting.

Engine installation :
The engine must be screw with 4 times 3x20 mm parker screw
on the plywood spare.
Secure all electric wire and fuel tubing in front of the engine in
the fuselage
ECU installation :
Fit the ECU in one side of the plane.
Fit the fuel pump and valves just rear to the ECU and
hold them with T rap.
Gear valves, air tank, batterie, antenae
Radio installation :
Fit the radio in the nose section with batterie.
Adjust batterie position to have to correct CG
position.
Don’t put the received and aerial antenae too close the
the ECU
Retract valve and brake valve can be fitted as the pics

Center of gravity
You normally need a 1700 Mah battery + ECU battery in the nose to have a correct Centre of Gravity.
Note : balance the model with the gear down and the tanks empty.
The center of gravity (CG) must be located at 130mm rear of the wing leading edge (wing root)
You must check it before the first flight, to do this with the aircraft in flight condition but without fuel
lift the aircraft in this point, the aircraft must adopt a slightly nose down attitude. If it is horizontal or
the tail drops move the baterie forward or add weight in the nose.
In other hand if the nose drops considerably add weight in the tail.
Total weight
The total weight of the 

Important note : Pay very careful attention to structural integrity. This jet can reach speeds of over
