Install the Cowl

1. There is a small plywood plate inside the fuselage for the

cowl mounting screws. The photo illustrates the approximate
position of the plywood plates.

2. From the center of the plywood plate draw a line back

1" [ 25 mm] with a felt tip pen.

3. Slide the cowl onto the fuselage. Slide the spinner back

plate onto the motor shaft. Depending on your brand of motor

you may need to enlarge the hole in the back plate. When the

cowl is properly positioned the distance between the spinner
back plate and the front of the cowl should be 3/32" [ 2.4 mm].

4. Using the lines you put on the fuselage as a reference,

drill a 1/16" [1.6 mm ] hole through the cowl and into the
plywood plate in the fuselage. Secure the cowl with four 3/32"

5/16" [2.5

8 mm] washer head screws.

5. Do not install the propeller at this time. For safety, this

will be done after the plane is completed.
