on the cowl back. Using medium grit sandpaper,
lightly scuff up the surfaces where the two pieces
will be joined for better glue adhesion Make sure
they are correctly aligned with each other (look at
the cowl profile from the side and top) and glue
them together with CA.
D 5 Lightly scuff the area around the joint line
with fine grit sandpaper Use HobbyLite model filler
to fill the joint line After the filler dries, sand the
entire cowl smooth.
D 2 Cut the center out of the cowl back Leave a
1/8" "lip" around the inside of the cowl back to give
it some extra strength Sand the inside edge of the
lip smooth You can make this cut with a hobby knife
if you start out with a shallow cut and just go a little
deeper on each pass, but a Dremel Moto-Tool with
a conical pointed bit works much easier.
D 6. Measure from the front of the firewall to the
face of the thrust washer, and write this
measurement down here _____". In the photo
the measurement reads 6-1/32".
D 3 Cut out the center of the cowl front, leaving
about a 1/2" lip around the edge Also cut out the
air inlets When cutting the air inlets, cut only the
depressed surface away and leave the curved
sides of the inlets on the cowl. They look better
and add strength
D 7 Remove the engine, and final sand the nose of
the plane smooth The front 3/4" of the nose should
be tapered in slightly to help the cowl slide on.
D 4 Test fit the cowl front onto the cowl back.
Sand the cowl front if necessary until it fits tightly
D 8 Test fit the cowl on the nose You may
have to sand the nose more to get the cowl to fit
far enough onto the plane Measure from the
firewall to the front of the cowl This measurement
should be approximately 1/16" less than the
measurement you wrote down above.
