Step 1
Locate the pre-installed blind nuts at the
front of the fuselage. Remove the covering
so the blind nuts can be accessed.
Step 2
Use pieces of cardstock to indicate the location of
the engine and screw locations for the cowling.
Hint
: You may want to place the
canopy hatch onto the fuselage so you
can tape the cardstock into position
to locate the needle valve.
Step 3
Remove the engine. Position the cowl onto the
fuselage so it is 5" (127mm) from the firewall. Transfer
the location for only the engine onto the cowl.
Step 4
Remove the cowl and remove the necessary material
to fit the cowl over the engine. Install the engine back
onto the firewall, and test fit the cowl over the engine.
Hint
: Start by removing only a little material
at a time. You can always make the holes
bigger, but you can’t make them smaller. Work
until the cowl fits nicely over the engine.
