6. Attach the cowl to the fuselage using four 4-40 x

3/8-inch socket head screws and four #4 washers.

Note the direction of the cowl as shown in the photo.

Use a 3/32-inch ball driver to tighten the screws that

secure the cowling. Use threadlock to ensure the screws

do not come loose during flight.

Important Information About Your Propeller

It is also very important to check to be sure the

propeller is balanced before installing onto the shaft. An

unbalanced propeller may strip the gears or cause poor

flight characteristics.

Note: If it is necessary to enlarge the hole in the

propeller, make sure to check the balance of the

propeller afterwards.

Note: Some DHC-2 beaver's utilized a spinner and

some did not. We have included a spinner for you if you

so wish to use one. On the model we have represented,

we did not use a spinner; we used only a prop nut.

7. Insert the propeller adapter into the spinner backplate.

It may be necessary to enlarge to hole in the backplate to

accept the adapter.

8. Slide the adapter onto the motor shaft, then slide the

propeller onto the adapter. Use the adapter nut to secure

the propeller and spinner backplate to the motor shaft.
