Cowling Installation
Required Parts
Fuselage assembly Cowling
Canopy
2mm x 6mm sheet metal screw (4)
Spinner backplate with adapter
Required tools and Adhesives
Low-tack tape
Thin CA
Pin vise
Phillips screwdriver: #1
Drill bit: 1/16-inch (1.5mm), 1/8-inch (3mm)
1. Use a pin vise and 1/8-inch (3mm) drill bit to
drill the four holes in the cowl for the mounting
screws. Indentations in the cowl show where these
holes should be drilled.
2. Slide the cowl on the fuselage. You will need to
flex the cowl to fit it over the wing fairing on the
bottom of the fuselage.
3. With the canopy in position, align the trim lines
from the cowl to those on the fuselage. Use two
pieces of low-tack tape to hold the cowl in position
on the fuselage.
4. Slide the propeller adapter and spinner
backplate on the motor shaft.
3. Attach a piece of hook and loop tape to the
bottom of your speed control. Place the mating
piece of tape inside the fuselage as shown.
4. Slide the speed control into the fuselage with the
battery wires going in first.
5. Position the speed control in the fuselage and
make sure it is secure. If the speed control is
positioned too far rearward, it may interfere with
the bolts for the landing gear. Check that it is far
enough forward so this does not happen.
6. Pass the leads from the motor through the slot in
the fuselage and out the same side of the fuselage
as the wires from the speed control.
Matching the colors between the ESC and motor
when they are connected results in the correct
motor direction if using all E-flite components.
7. Connect the wires from the motor to the wires of
the speed control.
8. Tuck the wires neatly in the fuselage so they
don’t interfere with the operation of the motor or
installation of the cowling.
