4. Mount the receiver battery pack next to the receiver in
the same manner as you did in step 1. Connect the switch to
the receiver and battery, being sure to secure the connection
between the switch and battery with tape, heat shrink tubing,
or a special clip designed for that purpose.

5. We used some scrap pieces of fuel tubing to support
the dual receiver antennas in the correct orientation against
the inside of the fuse (see your radio manual for details). If
you have installed an FM or PCM receiver, route the antenna
through the antenna tube preinstalled in the fuselage and out
the aft end. Be sure to install a strain relief on the antenna to
protect the solder joint inside the receiver.

6. Apply 4" [102mm] pieces of masking tape to both sides
of the fuselage in the locations shown. Mark the center of the
cowl mounting tab on each piece of tape. Then, accurately
draw a 3" [76mm] line using a straight edge along the tape.

7. If necessary, enlarge the hole in the spinner backplate
to fi t onto the crankshaft (or prop adapter) using a drill or
prop reamer.
❏
8. Before fi tting the cowl, make any cutouts necessary for
your power system. If you have installed a glow engine, a cutout
must be made for glow plug access, muffl er, and needle valve
access. A 1/4" [6.4mm] hole can be drilled or reamed into the
cowl for convenient fi ll line access. The fuel tubing will slide
through the hole, but the included fuel line plug will fi t snugly
into the hole holding it securely in place during fl ight (slowly
enlarge the hole when drilling, checking it often with the fuel
line and plug until a good fi t is achieved). If you have installed
a brushless power system, make a cooling hole cutout at the
bottom aft end of the cowl. A template for the cooling hole is
provided in the back of this manual.

9. Slide the cowl onto the fuselage and the spinner backplate
onto the prop adapter. Center the cowl 3/32" [2.4mm] behind
the spinner backplate and tape it into position.
