What you will need in this chapter:
Fuselage and cowling
Six 6/32 bolts with spring and lock
washers
12 button head 6/32 bolts and nylon
washers (split cowl)
Not Provided:
A 5” inch spinner
A Dremel tool
A facemask and eye protection
Pencil or dry erase marker
We have provided a split cowl with your Edge. This allows better baffling setups as well as making it easier
when installing a DA-200. Always wear a mask and eye protection while cutting fiberglass. Take your time
while installing the cowl. With care you will end up with a professional installation that will make an
impression at the field.
Close the choke and place a piece of tape over the carburetor inlet and exhaust outlet to keep out any dust while
setting up your cowl. Since the cowl is preset and uses a ring to mount, there will not be much to do here.
First cut out the bottom opening for cooling.
For the DA-
150/170/200 using canisters
, you will only need to open
the bottom of the cowl to exit the air from the cowl. If
your using stock exhaust stacks, it maybe necessary to cut
away the bottom portion of the cowl-ring for it to pass the
exhaust.
If using stock mufflers for the DA-150/170, we recommend
the compact style.
Remove the
cowling and
cut out the
remaining
areas to be
trimmed.
