You can either glue or use 4 to 6 small screws to mount each cone to the fuselage. Note the
arrows are on the tail cone formers, point them towards the center of the fuse, if not it will be
hard to fit the pipe, the holes are on a offset in the cones.
Place the lower bypass on the engine mounting rails. Slip the pipe forward over the aft end of
the bypass.
Position your engine on the mounting rails. Set the gap between the rear of the exhaust cone
and the mouth of the pipe to manufacturers specifications. This is usually around 20 mm. You
may need to trim some material off the intakes to allow the engine to sit far enough forward.
If required, marks the bypass for the positions of the engine mounting tabs and trim away
material such that the engine exhaust is centered on the pipe. Shims may be required under the
front engine-mounting tab to insure that the angle of the engine is on line with the angle of down
thrust of the pipe.
When you are satisfied, bolt the engine to the side frames with either blind nuts or
appropriately sized wood screws, if the later is preferred. Install the screws and then remove.
Coat the threaded holes with thin CA. This will harden the wood around the screw holes
themselves. Permanently reinstall the engine mounting screws.
