4) Using a ruler and a pen, measure back 1" from
the back edge of the wing saddle and draw a mark in the
center of the fuselage.
❑
5) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut a 3/4"
diameter hole through the bottom of the fuselage at the
mark you drew.
See photo # 32 below.
intake holes must be cut into the cowling and air-exit holes
must be cut into the bottom of the fuselage.
❑
1) Using a # 0 phillips screwdriver, remove the four
wood screws that hold the cowling in place. Remove the

INSTALLING THE PROPELLER
AND SPINNER ASSEMBLY
❑
6) Using a modeling knife, remove the nylon spin-
ner backplate adapter (that fits firmly over the propeller
shaft) from the plastic spur and press it firmly into the
spinner backplate.
❑
7) Slide the spinner backplate and the propeller onto
the propeller shaft. Thread the machine screw and washer
into the front of the adaptor and tighten them against the
propeller. Tighten the screw until it is snug. It is not
necessary to overtighten it.
See photo # 33 below.

Make sure that when you install the propeller it is
centered between the two molded pins; otherwise, the spin-
ner cone will not line up properly with the backplate.
❑
8) Slide the plastic spinner cone over the propeller
and secure it into the molded grooves in the backplate.
Hold the spinner cone in place using two 3mm x 10mm
wood screws. Tighten the screws firmly using a # 0 phillips
screwdriver.
