❏
Remove P/N 840-8 and P/N 840-9 and drill these holes.
❏
Drill a 3/16ӯ hole for a bolt through the cowling support, firewall and fuselage frame at
B.L. 338. This will place the bottom cowling support bolt just outboard of the exhaust
port shield.
All of the cowling supports may be removed, along with the firewall and fittings. The two bottom
cowling supports, P/N 840-10 and 840-11, are not installed at this time.
Fuselage Frame No. 2
❏
If you have not already done so, draw the internal structure on the inside face of the
closing plywood for varnishing. See Drawing No. 303.
❏
Cut the inside face of the frame to a width of 164mm to allow for the 2mm plywood used
for the nose gear bay wall.
Figure 27
❏
Locate the battery cable holes on the left side of the aircraft. Drill these holes through the
plywood for both front and aft faces. If the lower floor is to be installed (see Drawing No.
315), these holes should be at W.L. –490 to put them under the floor but above the
lamination. This can be seen in Figure 30.
❏
Drill a small vent hole through the aft plywood face on the right side of the aircraft.
❏
Mask and varnish the inside of the plywood to be used to close the frame. Varnish the
inside of the frame except for those areas to be glued.
