5. The canopy is held in position at the rear using

a magnet and tabs at the front. Lift the canopy at

the rear and slide it rearward to remove. Set the

canopy aside in a safe location. Your canopy came

in a box inside the kit. We are showing this in case

you had installed it.

6. Route the two hook and loop straps through the

slots in the battery tray. One will be located near

the front, while the other is located slightly aft of the

wing leading edge.

7. Place a piece of hook and loop tape on the

battery floor, as well as on the bottom of the battery.

This will keep the battery from sliding fore and aft in

the fuselage.

8. Slide the cowling in position. The pins at the top

and bottom of the cowling at the rear will fit into

the holes in the sub-firewall. The cowl will fit tightly

against the sub-firewall when installed correctly.

9. Use two 4-40 x 3/8-inch socket head machine

screws and two #4 washers to secure the cowl to

the firewall. You will need to use a 3/32-inch ball

driver to tighten these screws.

9. Use a small piece of hook and loop tape

or double-sided tape (not included) to secure

the switch in the fuselage. Make sure it is

positioned so the canopy hatch can be installed

without any interference.
