Gas Engine Installation - Hangar 9 F6F-5 Hellcat 15cc Manuel D'utilisation

Motor installation other than the Power 60:
The measurement from the fi rewall to the drive washer should
measure 5 7 / -inches (149mm). Make any necessary adjustments to
8
achieve this measurement.
147. Use hook and loop tape to mount the speed control. Connect
the leads from the motor and speed control and secure them
using tie wraps so they don't interfere with the operation
of the motor. Use a hobby knife to cut a hole for the speed
control wiring to enter the fuselage. Guide the leads for the
battery and receiver through the tray.

A tie wrap is also recommended to
prevent the ESC from moving.
148. Locate the battery 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 in
the fuselage.
149. Use 5-minute epoxy to apply hook and loop tape to the
battery tray.
 Do not cover safety warnings on the
battery with hook and loop tape.
150. Place two hook and loop straps through the openings in the
battery tray.
 Apply a small amount of 5-minute epoxy to the straps
to secure them to the battery tray. This will prevent them
from falling through the holes when the battery is removed.

151. Install the battery tray in the fuselage by fi tting the notches
at the front into the slots in the fi rewall. Apply a drop of
threadlock on each of the M2 x 12 socket head cap screws.
Secure the tray using the two screws and two M3 washers.
Tighten the screws using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
152. Mount the battery in the fuselage using hook and loop straps
and hook and loop tape.
 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.
 GAS ENGINE INSTALLATION
 The supplied template is marked for multiple motor
options. Make sure to use the marks that suits the chosen
power option. Other power options than those shown on
the template can also be used on the Hellcat. We suggest
using the template as a dummy firewall to ensure the power
option chosen fits, and help align the holes for mounting.
153. Place the mounting template on the fi rewall. Use low-tack
tape to hold the template in position. Use a drill and 5/32-inch
(2mm) drill bit to drill the four holes in the fi rewall to attach
the motor box.
154. Remove the template from the fuselage. Use a drill and 7/32-
inch (5.5mm) drill bit to enlarge the holes from the previous
step.
