Hirobo Bell 47G (GS)

 

Engine & carburettor

 

 

 

The TAS 24cc engine is included in the kit. The steel engine plate on the right in the picture was blackened prior to assembly.

 

 

The carburettor was removed prior to the engine installation in the mechanics.

 

 

The clutch looks suitably strong.

 

 

The clutch bell was already preassembled and required no modification.

 

 

The main gear was removed to facilitate an easy engine installation.

 

 

The engine installation was straightforward and needed no modification.

 

 

This picture clearly illustrates why installing the servos and control rods prior to the engine – basically there is no room to attach or remove the servo horns once the engine has been installed.

 

 

With the main gear installed setting the gear mesh was possible.

 

 

The butterfly in the carburettor can clearly be seen in this picture.

 

 

The air filter has a choke incorporated into the design.

 

 

With the carburettor installed the throttle linkage can be established along with the setting for the idle and the failsafe.

 

 

The choke in the open position, and …

 

 

… in the closed position.

 

 

The air filter cover required slight modification so that it didn’t foul the cabin woodwork as per the instructions.
