flush with the front of the battery hatch. Make certain there
is an approximately 1/16" [2mm] gap between the spinner
and cowl and the cowl is centered on the spinner.

cowl and the fuselage where shown in the photo. Remove
the cowl and enlarge the holes in the cowl only with a 3/32"
[2.4mm] drill. Mount the cowl with four 3x10mm screws.

8. Remove the cowl once more. Add a few drops of thin
CA to the screw holes in the fuselage to “harden” the
threads. Allow the CA to fully harden, then mount the cowl.

gear. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each mounting hole

landing gear straps to the fuselage with four 3x10mm self-
tapping screws. Harden the holes with thin CA.
