6) Install batteries and radio 7) Fuel up with kerosene and go fly BUILD INSTRUCTIONS NOTE – Most planes of any type are tail heavy. Temporarily mount the batteries in the nose. They can be easily moved rearward if necessary. NOTE 2 – Some builders recommend building the plane as much as possible before joining the 2 halves so that it lie flat on the table. Join the fuselage halves (Can be done now or after some assembly has been completed) 1) Brush on a thin layer of epoxy or Hysol onto the mating parts. Keep in mind that any excess glue that you have on the nose section can squeeze out onto the outside of the fuselage, so keep the glue to a minimum. 6
2) Push the two halves together and clamp in place. 3) Do not install the fuel tank as shown in the photo below. This is the smoke tank mounted in front of the fuel tank(s). The fuel tanks are behind this tank on the CG. Fuel Tank Installation Below is a photo of the installation of 2 DuBro 50 oz fuel tanks. TBM now offers a 101 oz fuel tank suitable for use in the DV8R. If you install the TBM 101 oz tank some of the former needs to be relieved for installation on the CG. Aftermarket Kevlar tanks are also available. The two 50 oz tanks mount of their sides as shown. 1) If installing the two 50 oz tanks, cut 4 pieces of Velcro 18” in length. 2) Use hot melt glue to attach the Velcro to the top and sides (not the bottom) of the fuel tanks. Have the end pieces of Velcro hang down to wrap around the fuselage floor. This makes installation and removal very easy. 3) The tank(s) are mounted near the CG. The front of the tank(s) is at the front of the former as shown in one of the following photos. 7
