Section 16: Attaching the Cowl

Parts Needed

• Fuselage assembly

• Cowl

• Mounting screws (4)
• Wood mounting blocks (4)

Tools and Supplies Needed

• Medium sandpaper

• Hobby knife

• Masking tape 

• 12-minute epoxy

• Rubbing alcohol

• Paper towels

• Felt-tipped pen or pencil
• Moto-tool with cut-off wheel and sanding drum

Step 1

Locate the four wood cowl mounting blocks.

Step 2

Mark the location for the mounting blocks. The upper
mounting blocks are located where the blue and black
covering meet. The lower blocks are mounted in line with
the wing saddle. Make adjustments to these locations to
prevent interference with the engine and muffler you use.

Step 3

The blocks will be positioned flush with the fuselage
sides. Sand a radius on the blocks to match the shape
of the fuselage. Sand the firewall where the blocks attach
to the fuselage.
