Section 15: Cowling Installation

Required Parts

• Fuselage assembly

• Cowling

• #2 x 1/2" sheet metal screw (4)
• 5/8" x 3/4" x 3/4" cowl mounting block (4)
• Dummy radial engine

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Drill

• Drill Bit: 1/16", 1/8"

• Hobby scissors

• 6-minute epoxy

• Phillips screwdriver (small)
• Rotary tool with sanding drum

Step 1

Locate the dummy radial engine. Use a sharp hobby
knife to trim the material between the cylinders as
shown. Leave the material above the cylinders in
tact for strength. Remove the center area for the
engine drive washer.

Hint

: The dummy radial engine can also be

painted at this time. Just remember to test the
paint on the pieces removed to make sure the
paint won’t attack the plastic.

Step 2

Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the dummy radial
inside the cowl.

Step 3

Locate the four cowl mounting blocks. Sand the same
radius as the fuselage onto one side of each block.
