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.
