Issue/Stage 53 Contains – Engine Mount, Leading Edge Support, Plant on detail, XW02 Screws (X9), XW03 Screws (X2), Engine Mount Brace.
Fitting the Mount
Take all the components provided this time, together with the assembly from stage 52. Fit the pin on the back of the small plant on detail into the holes in the triangular leading-edge support as shown. Press the detail into place so it fits flush. Fit the bracket on the back of the leading-edge support to the engine mount as show. Press the left-hand hole on the bracket into the locating pin and secure the other hole with an XW02 screw.
Align the wing and the engine mount as shown and fit the parts together so that the five holes indicated line up with the lugs on the engine mount. Fix the parts together with XW02 screws in all five holes. Align the engine mount brace with the assembly and fit over the mount as shown. Secure the engine mount brace with XW02 screws in the two holes indicated, then secure with two XW03 screws into the other two holes as indicated.
This issue/stage is now complete. Store any remaining parts in a stage labelled bag.

Issue/Stage 54 Contains – Upper Front Engine Casing, Retro-thrust Nozzle, Lower Shroud, Gyro Cone Lower and Upper halves, Cooling Vane, Horizontal Vane.
Assembling the Engine
Take the upper front engine casing and the retro-thrust nozzle and fit into the mounting post in the casing. The notch should be facing inwards. Take the five remaining engine components and fit the pins on the lower half of the gyro cone into the holes in the horizontal vane, making sure the vane is the right way around. The pins should project through the other side. Fit the upper half of the gyro over the protruding pins and push firmly into place. Take the longer pin on the cooling vane and fit it in the hole on the lower half of the gyro cone. Fit the lower shroud into the two pins on the upper half of the gyro cone and press the parts together firmly.
The vane assembly fits into the engine casing as shown and the pin on the cooling vane fits into the small hole in the casing.
This issue/stage is now complete. Store any remaining parts in a stage labelled bag.

Issue/Stage 56 Contains – Fission Chamber Upper Half, Alluvial Damper, Turbo Generator Body, Fission Chamber Mounting, Turbo Generator Rear Cone, Hydraulic Adjusters (X2), Turbo Impeller Blades (X2), Turbo Impeller.
Assembling the Engine
Take the assembly from stage 55, together with the alluvial damper and two hydraulic adjusters. Push the alluvial damper, which has a mounting hole, into the projecting pin from the engine casing. Align the two pins on one of the hydraulic adjusters, noting which way around they go and fit in place as shown.
Take the remaining parts provided and fit the rear cone to the turbo generator body. Line up the notch with the projecting lug and push firmly in place. Align the two pins on the turbo impeller with the matching holes in the turbo generator and fit in place. Fit both the impeller blades into the two rectangular sockets as shown.
Next fit the turbo generator into the fission chamber fitting the pin into the keyhole shaped mounting. Press firmly into place.
Finally, fit the two pins on the fission chamber mounting into the matching holes in the collar on the fission chamber.
This issue/stage is now complete. Store any remaining parts in a stage labelled bag.
