Mount the Cowl, Hatch and Spinner

1. If you are using the recommended engine and muffl er,

cut a section from the underside of the cowl using the
dimensions shown. (Adjust the dimensions accordingly if
using a different engine and/or muffl er.)

2. Make a template of your engine head onto thick paper or

card stock. The cutout in the template should be approximately

1/4" [6mm] larger on all sides than the engine head. Tape the

template to the fuselage side so the cutout in the template is
aligned over the engine head.

3. In order to fi t the cowl onto the fuselage, the engine

will need to be temporarily removed from the fi rewall so the
head does not interfere. Just the cylinder head can also be
temporarily removed if you are comfortable doing so. Now fi t
the cowl to the fuselage. Temporarily fi t the spinner backplate
onto the engine crankshaft. Align the front of the cowl with
the backplate leaving a 3/32" [2.4mm] space between it and
the backplate and tape the cowl in place (or have a helper
give you a hand). Use a felt-tip pen and trace the outline of
the engine head cutout onto the cowl.
