Cowling
The plastic cowling has 1/16 ply stiffeners that also
double as cutting templates.
Follow along and you will have a perfect fit to the
fuselage airfoil.
Notice that the two cowl stiffeners have small etched
marks at one end.
These marks should face up when they are glued in place.
We will snap these small tabs off later.
Align the stiffener so that it is at the rear trim line, and
even with the bottom of the raw cowling in the front and
rear.
Use a little bit of medium CA or epoxy to attach them.
Don’t put any glue on the small tab under the “X”
Before gluing, sand all around to about an inch up into the
cowling.
Use 220 paper and wipe down with alcohol before gluing.
Note that CA will give an almost instant bond, so be sure
you are lined up before you touch the wood to the plastic.
Do both sides the same way.
When cured, break off the little tabs at the bottom rear of
the wood stiffener.
Score the bottom cut by simply following the curve of the
template (stiffener).
Use a sharp blade, and score it a few times.
Bend it and it will snap.
You can make the front and rear vertical cuts first to make
it easier.
Trim the back part of the cowling a little long, to allow
exact fitting to the length of your fuselage.
Sand the edges with 220 if needed.
