so you can get it to fit over the engine. If you are using the
DA100, only a small hole for the front of the left muffler and
slots for the muffler tubes need to be cut.
❏
2. Cut a rectangle out of the bottom of the cowl that
matches the air exit slot in the fuse.
❏
3. Mount the spinner and position the cowl 1/8" [3.2mm]
behind the spinner backplate.
❏
4. Drill a 9/64" [3.6mm] hole 3/4" [19mm] forward of the
T.E. of the cowl and just below the cheek.
❏
5. Attach the cowl at that point with a 4-40 x 1/2" [13mm]
SHCS, #4 washer and 4-40 blind nut.
❏
6. Working one at a time, repeat steps 4 and 5 to install
3 bolts on each side of the cowl.
❏
1. Slide the two aluminum stab tubes into the fuse.
❏
2. Attach 36" [915mm] servo extensions to the elevator
servos. If you are going to be permanently attaching the
stabs, secure the servo leads with heat shrink tubing.
❏
3. Stand the plane on its nose and feed the elevator
servo wire down the fuse.
The removable tail needs to be checked often for wear.
If the tail develops excessive movement, thin CA
sparingly applied to the inside of the stab tubes will
cure it. If you are able to transport the CAP with the
stabs installed, we recommend permanently attaching
the stab to the fuse with epoxy.
