DROP TANK INSTALLATION

1. Run your fi nger along the bottom of the wing to locate the blind nuts
for the drop tank mount. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove
the covering, exposing the blind nuts.
 Thread a screw into the blind nuts by hand first to make sure the
threads are clear. Cross threading, stripping, or damaging the blind
nuts withing the wing will require considerable work to rectify.
2. Thread the drop tank mounts into the blind nuts in the pylons. Do not
over-tighten the mounts and damage the pylon.
3. Attach the pylon to the wing using two M4 x 15 socket head cap
screws and two M4 lock washers. Use a 3mm hex wrench to tighten
the screws.
 Place a drop of canopy glue on each screw before
their installation. This will keep them from vibrating
loose yet leave them easily removable.
4. Attach the drop tank to the mounts using four M3 x 12 button head
screws. Use a 2mm hex wrench to tighten the screws.
 Place a drop of canopy glue on each screw before
