Finish the Cowl

1. If using a glow engine, mount the muffl er and make any

additional cuts necessary—you may have to cut through the
cowl ring, but this won’t weaken the cowl because the ring
will be braced by the fuselage when bolted into position.

2. Make any other cuts/holes necessary for the needle

valve, glow plug and fueling lines.

3. Once all the cowl holes have been cut fi nal-sand the

edges of all cuts with 320-grit or 400-grit sandpaper.

4. If using a glow engine, lightly coat the cowl ring with

thinned epoxy or fuelproof paint.

Hook Up the Rudder and Elevators

1. Same as was done with the ailerons, give a good pull

on the rudder and look at the hinges to make sure they are
all secure. Use thin CA to wet any hinges that look dry.

2. Making sure the trims and sub trims are centered, use

your transmitter to center the rudder servo.

3. Enlarge the second-from-the-outer holes in a Great

Planes 3" [150mm] double-side servo arm (GPMM1165)
with a 7/64" [2.8mm] drill. Mount the servo arm to the servo.
