1. From the front edge of the fuselage side measure
33.5mm to its right. Draw a parallel line. Place a piece of
masking tape at where you intend to draw and then mark
your line on the masking tape. This will protect Ultracote
from being marred. Let’s call this line “Cowl Reference
Line”. Repeat this for the other side of fuselage.
2. Slide on cowl to the marked lines. Next, put the spinner
back plate onto the prop shaft and push it all the way up
against the prop hub. Check to see if you are satisfied
with the gap between spinner back plate and cowl.
Reposition cowl if necessary to obtain the desired gap
width.
The cowl overlaps the fuselage front by 33.5mm as shown.
This setting allows for approximately 2mm wide of gap between
the spinner back plate and the front of the cowl. With that in
mind follow the procedures below to get it mounted. With
engine installed (no muffler) slide on the cowl to position.
4. Locate the bag of plywood mounting block kit that’s
provided in the kit. It contains eight (8) pieces of 20mm x
10.5mm x 2mm plywood pieces. You will need to glue two
pieces back to back to make four 20mm x 10.5mm x 4mm
mounting blocks.
5. Refer to photo and glue these mounting blocks to locations
shown with 5-minute epoxy.
6. When cured install M3 blind nut provide for each mounting
block. Center point of the blind nut is about 5mm from the
edge of the fuselage.
7. Transfer blind nut locations to cowl. Drill holes in cowl to
accept M3 socket head screw for securing the cowl.
