2. After the epoxy has cured cut a piece of a file folder,
index card, or any similar material and securely tape it to the
side of the fuselage so that it covers one of the mounting
blocks. Find the center of the mounting block and place a
mark on the card taped to the fuselage.
❏
3. Place the
cowl
on the fuselage in the correct
alignment and allow the engine drive washer to extend past
the front of the cowl at least 1/8" (3mm). When satisfied with
the alignment, tape the cowl in place and drill a 1/16"(1.6
mm) pilot hole through the cowl and the mounting block at
the location you marked on the card stock taped to the
fuselage. Enlarge the 1/16"(1.6 mm) hole in the cowl for
clearance with a 3/32"(2.4mm) drill bit to allow the #2 x 1/2"
(13mm) Phillips head screws to pass through the cowl.
Do not redrill the pilot hole in the cowl mounting blocks.
❏
4. Repeat this process at the locations of the other five
cowl mounting blocks. Mount the cowl using six #2 x 1/2"(13
mm) Phillips head screws and six #2 flat washers.

5. You will need to cut other access holes in the cowling
for things like the fueling valve, needle valve, and glow
driver access to start the engine. Use this same method to
locate these holes. When finished you will have accurate
locations for these functions.
