Toavoid scratching yournew airplane, donot
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old
towel or brown paper, both to protect the air-
craftand toprotectthetable.Keep acouple of
jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts af-
ter you open the bag.
Pleasetrialfitalltheparts. Makesureyouhave
the correct parts and that they fit and are
alignedproperly beforegluing!Thiswillassure
proper assembly. RENEGADE ARF is hand
made from natural materials, every plane is
unique and minor adjustments may have to
be made. However, you should find the fit su-
perior and assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit
are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant
of many harsh chemicals including the follow-

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY
FUEL TANK.
1. The stopper has been pre-assembled at
the factory.
2. Using a modeling knife, cut one length of
siliconfuelline (thelength ofsilicon fuel lineis
calculated by how the weighted clunk should
restabout 8mmawayfromtherearofthe tank
andmove freelyinside thetank). Connectone
end of the line to the weighted clunk and the
otherend tothenylonpickup tubein thestop-
per.
4. Carefully bend the third nylon tube down
ata 45degreeangle (usinga cigarettelighter).
This tubewill bevent tubeto thefueling valve.
When the stopper assembly is installed
in the tank, the top of the vent tube should
rest just below the top surface of the tank.
It should not touch the top of the tank.
5. Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
amodeling knife. Ifflashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.
3. Carefully bend the second nylon tube up
ata 45degreeangle (usinga cigarettelighter).
This tube will be the vent tube to the muffler.

6. When satisfied with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pandsand sealsthetankopening.Do notover
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.
8. Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartment and through the pre-drilled hole
in the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind
the engine, while guiding the fuel tank into
place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as
possible,the frontofthetankshould justabout
touch the back of the firewall.
7. Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of
fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2
vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in
the stopper.
Blow through one of the lines to ensure
the fuel lines have not become kinked inside
the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow
througheasily.
9. To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a
bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of
thetank, whereit exitsthefuselagebehindthe
