Ο 8. Remove the cowling. Use a 1/16-inch drill bit in a
pin vise to drill the mounting holes at the marked
locations on the cowling.
Ο 9. Use a #0 Philips screwdriver to attach the cowling
to the fuselage with four 2mm x 10mm sheet
metal screws.
Ο 10. Remove the cowling and apply 1-2 drops of thin
CA to each of the mounting holes.
We recommend that this be done after the
cowl has been mounted and the screws have
formed a thread in the blocks. This will prevent
them from splitting.
