Step 4
Mix 1⁄4 ounce of 12-minute epoxy and glue the blocks in
place. Use masking tape and T-pins to secure the blocks
as the epoxy cures.
Step 5
If you are using the dummy radial engine supplied with
the kit, glue it in at this time using 6-minute epoxy. Make
all the necessary cut outs to allow the drive washer to
come through the center of the dummy engine. Also open
up the area between the cylinders.
Step 6
Center the cowl on the fuselage and using a 1/16" drill
bit, carefully drill the four cowl mounting screw locations.
Drill through the cowl and into the mounting blocks.
Step 7
Mount the cowl using the #2 wood screws provided. Once
mounted, make the appropriate cutouts in the cowl for the
muffler exhaust and engine cooling.
