Place a piece of masking tape down the cen-

ter of the wide yellow trim stripe.

Measuring up 1-3/8” from the bottom of the

yellow stripe, make two marks and draw a

line on the tape, parallel to the yellow stripe.

Make a third mark on the tape, even with the

back of the landing gear. From this point,

measure forward 5-7/8”.

Drill a 1/16” hole at this location for the top

cowl screw.

With the fuselage on its left side, trace the

cutout for the engine onto the cowl.

Remove the cowl and, with a moto tool, slow-

ly remove the fiberglass INSIDE the cutout

outline. Work slowly and carefully, until the

cowl matches the clear plastic piece.

Remember, if the fiberglass is damaged dur-

ing this process, it can be repaired only with

epoxy glue.

NOTE:You may wish to make a cutout in the front of

the cowl, at the point where the engine prop washer

sticks out, that is large enough to allow the engine to

vibrate without touching the cowl.
