Align and epoxy F25, F26, F27, F28 and F50 together in the
shape of a box as shown. Note the location that is printed on
each piece.
**Electric Version:**
All pieces will be marked with an “E”.
Epoxy F50AE to A50BE making sure the alignment marks on
F50AE are facing outward and the top is facing the correct
direction. Do not glue from the dotted line on F25 to the end
because that piece will be broken away later. It is there for
box alignment only.
Mount your engine on the firewall and slide the box into F1,
F2 and F3 as shown.
Fit the cowl on the fuselage and screw into position.
Slide the motor/motor box until the thrust washer is approx
1/8” from the front of the cowl. Attach the spinner backplate
to the motor and insure it is aligned with the cowl.
Remove the cowl and mark the position of the motor box.
Tack in place with thick CA.
Epoxy the motor box into place using 30 min epoxy, the F29
pieces and tri-stock. Allow to cure.
OPTION:
If you don’t think the cowl isn’t mounted straight on
the fuselage, you can fit the cowl without drilling holes,
measure the distance between the F1 and the front of the
cowl and mount the firewall box into position using a square.
Then the cowl can be mounted to fit.
Cut the sheeting away from the retract bay as shown.
Fit W6B to W6 and W8B to W8 as shown. Sand the pieces
as necessary for a good fit. Both pieces should rest on the
spar and W28.
Fit W6C to W6B and W8C to W8B. Both pieces should rest
on the spar and W28.
Fit W24 right and left retract plates into place and glue all
pieces using 30 min epoxy.
