Canopy/Cowl
1.
Trim canopy along scribe line on the molded part.
2.
Trim cowl along scribe line on the molded part. Trim away inside recessed area of cowl to promote cooling of
the motor.
3.
Test fit both to fuselage – the fit of the cowl is very precise – some light sanding of the fuselage may be required
to achieve a perfect fit.
Hint: Painting the Cowl. Lay up multiple thin coats of paint, allowing ample time to dry, on the cowl to avoid melting of the
part by the aggressive solvents in your paint.
