1/4-20 nylon cowl mounting bolt.
Servo mounts.
Assembled.
Make sure the cowling is still fully seated, and drill a
hole with a #7 (.201) bit. Do this on both sides,
being careful not to disturb the cowling position.
Remove the cowling and drill the holes out to ¼ in
the cowling only.
Tap the hole in the fuselage side with a ¼-20 tap,
and harden the threads with thin CA and
accelerator.
Run the tap through again to clean the threads.
Bolt the cowling on with the supplied ¼-20 nylon
bolts.
Next, we will mount everything we need, to make
this boat go!
Radio:
Find the 2 pieces of ¼x1-1/2 ply, and the 6 pieces
of tri stock. Also find the 2 pieces of 1/2x 4 ply.
These are the servo mounts.
Using CA, glue one piece of tri stock to the end of
each piece of ply.
Make sure the two pieces are flush with each other
by holding them flat against the bench while the
glue dries. Use a piece of waxed paper or cling
wrap on the bench, so the part doesn’t become a
permanent part of your bench…
When dry, sand each mount smooth with 80.
