Instructions for the Rossi .60

Rossi .60 two-stroke hobby aircraft engines have been produced for a number of years, providing excellent power characteristics for their size. Setting up one of these engines requires the adjustment of the air/fuel ratio as well as physically mounting the engine to your model aircraft's frame for the engine to operate correctly. Once this is accomplished, however, the Rossi .60 engine will provide plenty of power for your model aircraft.

Things You'll Need

Screwdriver
Fuel lines
Engine exhaust
Air filter
Steel throttle wire

Instructions

- 1
  Mount the Rossi .60 engine into the chassis of your model aircraft with the screwdriver. There are four mounting holes at each corner of the base plate of the engine through which the engine's mounting screws can be attached.
- 2
  Connect the fuel line from the model aircraft's fuel tank to the fuel intake hose for the Rossi engine. This is located just in front of the piston, near where the propeller shaft is located.
- 3
  Install the exhaust system onto the side of the Rossi engine. This uses two screws that mount the exhaust flange to the engine with a screwdriver. Next, attach the speed controller to the engine's throttle control just underneath the exhaust with a length of sturdy steel wire.
- 4
  Screw the air intake flange onto the Rossi .60 engine with the screwdriver and two screws.
- 5
  Connect the airplane's battery to the engine ground and the spark plug, and then slide the aircraft propeller over the propeller shaft of the engine, followed by the nut to secure it in place. With this done, the engine can be primed with fuel. Spin the propeller with an electric drill to start the engine.
