Parts Needed

• Fuselage assembly

• Cowl

• 4-40 x 1" mounting bolts (4)

• 4-40 blind nuts (4)

• Fuel filler (HAN115)

Tools and Adhesives Needed

• Pliers

• Hex Wrench: 3/32"

• Moto-tool w/cut-off wheel and sanding drum

• Thin CA

Step 1

Mount the muffler onto your engine.

Step 2

With the engine and muffler in place, carefully mark and cut
away the areas of the cowl that come in contact with the engine.
Work slowly until you are satisfied with the fit of the cowl.

Step 3

Install the 4-40 blind nuts into the four predrilled cowl
mounting blocks. Seat the blind nuts using a pair of slip joint
pliers and place a few drops of thin CA on the back of the nuts.
Do not allow the CA to get onto the threads of the blind nuts.

Step 4

Locate and drill the four cowl mounting block locations.
Use the graphics and spinner back plate to help align the cowl.
Mount the cowl using the 4-40 x 1" mounting bolts, washers
and split washers.

Step 5

Pull the fuel fill line through the cowl and install a fuel filler.
