Cowl Mounting
Cut air vents as desired for your engine cooling needs.
The vents can be trimmed with small scissors and a
motor tool with a sanding drum attached. Use masking
tape to reduce chipping on the outside of the cowl
while cutting. Please use a vacuum and mask while
sanding to reduce dust inhailation.
You may find it helpful to reinforce the cowl with hard
balsa sticks if you end up with thin area.
At the bottom edge of the firewall there are 2 tabs that
will be used to mount the cowl. Drill a 1/8” hole in the
center of each tab.
Apply some CA glue to the hole and press a 4-40 blind
nut into each tab.
Use masking tape to transfer the mounting locations to
the cowl. Apply tape to the fuselage extending over the
mounting tab. Mark the center of the blind nut on the
masking tape. Fold the tape back so the cowl can be
installed.
Slide the cowl in place and position it using the spinner
back plate as a guide. You may find it necessary to shim
the cowl ring where is meets the fuselage to maintain
proper fit and center position after you tighten the
screws.
Fasten the cowl from inside the fuselageusing 3 screws
and washers . (One centered and 2 near the sides.)
