E-flite Diamante 5e ARF Assembly Manual
6. Use tape and cardstock to make tabs to indicate
the location of the tabs at the front of the fuselage for
mounting the cowling.
7. Slide the cowling onto the fuselage. Use the propeller
adapter to attach the propeller and spinner backplate
temporarily onto the motor. Position the cowling so it
lines up with the spinner backplate, and has a small gap
between the spinner backplate and cowling.
8. With the cowl aligned with the spinner, use a drill and
1/16 in (1.5mm) drill bit to drill through the cowl and
into the fuselage using the cardstock as guides.
9. Secure the cowling using the four 2mm x 10mm sheet
metal screws. There are two screws on each side of the
cowl as shown. Complete the cowling installation by
attaching the spinner cone using the two screws provided
with the spinner.
