❑
Using a modeling knife, cut out the small molded circle
and the molded air-intake in the front of the cowling.
❑
Using a pair of scissors, cut out the back edge of the
cowling to allow clearance for the landing gear wires.
☞
If you look carefully at each side of the cowling you will
notice scribe lines showing you where you need to cut out
for the landing gear wires.
Step 2: Installing the Cowling
❑
Slide the cowling over the gear box assembly and onto the fuselage.
❑
Thread one 3mm hex nut onto the propeller shaft and tighten it until it will not thread on any further.
❑
Slide the propeller onto the propeller shaft, making sure
that the back of the propeller slides firmly over the hex nut.
☞
The back of the propeller is molded to fit over the hex
nut.
❑
Slide the 3mm flat washer into place, then install and
tighten the second 3mm hex nut using an adjustable wrench.
❑
Carefully adjust the cowling so that it is centered around the end of the gear box and make sure the back edge of the
cowling overlaps (or is even with) the back edge of the plywood motor plate.
IMPORTANT
The top of the cowling will be pushed above the top of the fuselage by the plywood plate. This is normal. It is done to
make a space for hot air to exit the cowling so the motor and gear box do not overheat.
