on the cowling.

Step 17

Remove the cowling and use a drum sander in

a rotary tool to relieve the cowling at the marked

nosewheel turns without interference.

Note:

If installing retracts, use the picture as a guide to

make a cutout in the front of the cowl for the steering

secure the propeller nut.

the spinner cone and base, check both pieces for

clearance with the propeller.
