Beechcraft Bonanza 15e ARF Assembly Manual

Step 10

Trial fit the spinner cone on the base. Carve a relief

for the propeller on each side of the spinner cone as

necessary with a hobby knife so that it fits against

the base without distortion.

Step 11

Remove the spinner cone. Loosen the prop nut and

slide the assembly onto the motor shaft against the

silicone keeper. Use the shaft of a hex wrench or

screwdriver to tighten the spinner nut.

Step 12

Use the spinner base and the trim stripes as a

reference to position the cowling on the fuselage.

Space the front face of the cowling 1/16 inch behind

the rear edge of the spinner base then tape the cowl

in place with low-tack tape.

Step 13

Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the cowl screw

locations on the cowling.

Step 14

Remove the propeller, spinner base and cowling

from the fuselage. Use a 1/16-inch drill bit in a pin

vise to drill the mounting holes in the cowl at the

marked locations.

Step 15

Remove the card stock tabs. Apply 1–2 drops of thin

CA to each of the cowl screw holes in the fuselage.

Allow the CA to dry completely without using

accelerator.
