 7. Remove the cowl from the fuselage. Use a #1
Phillips screwdriver to thread a 2mm x 6mm sheet
metal screw into the cowl mounting holes to cut
threads in the surrounding wood. Remove the screw
before moving to the next step. Prepare all four
mounting holes at this time.
 8. Remove the cowl from the fuselage. Place
1–2 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the
surrounding wood. This harder surface makes the
screws more secure when installed.

using the four 2mm x 6mm sheet metal screws.
Tighten the screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
 10. Install the propeller adapter and backplate on
the motor shaft. Use a 13mm box wrench or open
end wrench to tighten the propeller nut.
 11. Position the spinner cone. Make sure the
opening in the spinner cone does not contact
the propeller. Use a 3/32-inch hex wrench or
ball driver to tighten the screw that secures the
spinner cone.
