Soak the cowl mounting tabs with thin CA

Place the canopy/hatch in place on the fuselage and make sure it is positioned
properly. Slide the cowling into place and allow it to extend over the F1 former
by one-eighth of an inch. Make sure the prop shaft is centered in the cowl
opening. You may want to install the spinner at this time to insure that the cowl is
properly positioned. We recommend using a 2” spinner for the Yak (we like the
Great Planes 2” spinner with lightened aluminum backplate). View the cowl from
the front, top and sides and when satisfied with the position, secure the cowl with
masking tape. Use a small drill bit mounted in a pin vise to drill through the cowl
and into the mounting tabs. You can view through the large opening in the front
of the cowl to make sure you are drilling into the center of the tab. Use the 4
small mounting screws with large heads to secure the cowl.

Slide the included collet style prop adapter onto the motor shaft and attach the
spinner and prop.
