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.
