165. Secure the ignition module and receiver battery in the
fuselage. Use hook and loop tape and tie wraps to ensure
their location. Make any connections using the instructions
provided with the engine.
 The F6F-5 Hellcat has a relatively short nose,
which means additional weight may be required to
properly balance your model. Keep as many components
in the fuselage as far forward as possible to help in
reducing the amount of weight required to balance.
166. Attach the muffl er to the engine using the hardware included
with the engine. Follow any instructions included with the
engine for the muffl er installation.
167. Slide the pushrod tube on the throttle pushrod wire from
inside the fuselage. Use medium CA to glue the tube in the
fi rewall. Leave 1 3 / inch (19mm) of the tube exposed forward
4
of the fi rewall.
 Make sure the CA does not enter the tube,
which could glue the pushrod wire to the tube.
 FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
168. Prepare the stopper assembly by placing small amounts of
solder on the end of the tubes shown. This will help keep the
fuel lines secure when installed. Use hemostats to act as a
heat-sink to avoid accidentally melting the rubber stopper.
169. Cut a piece of fuel tubing that will result in the end of
the clunk being 3 3 / -inches (95mm) from the back of the
4
aluminum plate. Secure the tubing to the clunk and stopper
using thin wire. This will keep the tubing from sliding loose
inside the tank. Make sure to use the clunk supplied with
your engine.

170. A second clunk (included with your model) can also be
installed to fi ll and drain the fuel tank. The procedure to
attach this clunk is the same as the previous step.
 Apply a very small amount of soapy water to the stopper
to make it easier to install the stopper into the tank.
171. Install the stopper fully into the tank. Make sure the clunk(s)
can move freely inside the tank. If not, adjust the tubing as
necessary so they can move without binding inside the tank.
172. Once the clunk(s) have been positioned, tighten the screw
using a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the stopper in the
tank.
173. Secure a 5-inch (127mm) fuel line to the fi ll line of the tank.
The overfl ow line can be attached to the vent, as well as the
remaining tubing to the clunk line that will eventually attach
to the carburetor. Tie wraps can also be used to secure the
fuel lines as well as wire ties.
174. Locate the fuel tank tray. The laser cut hole will be on the
right when the tray is laying with the top facing up. It will also
be on the right side of the fuselage when the tray is installed
