PHASE 9 – INSTALLING THE
COWL AND DUMMY CYLINDERS.
The cowl has been pre-painted and pre-trimmed.
The cowl should be oriented such that the pre-applied
trim aligns with the graphics on the fuselage.

STEP 9.1 – MOUNT THE DUMMY
CYLINDER PLATE.
Depending on your engine, install the black dummy
cylinder plate. Cut out the air passages between the
dummy cylinders. Mount the cylinder plate to the inside of
the cowl using Pacer Dap-A-Gap-A-Goo.

STEP 9.2 – MOUNT THE COWL.
Position the cowl over your engine and the fuselage. Align
the pre-applied cowl trim with the graphics on the fuse-
lage.
Parts are not included for mounting the cowl… experi-
enced modelers have a large number of personal prefer-
ences for mounting cowls. One method is as follows…
Install scrap plywood or hardwood mounting blocks to the
forward removable firewall to accept mounting screws to
hold the cowl in place. Use at least three mounting
locations around the circumference of the cowl. Drill holes
in the cowl that align with the mounting blocks. Line the
holes with rubber grommets to prevent the mounting
screws chaffing the fiberglass cowl.

STEP 9.3 – MOUNT THE DUMMY
AIR INTAKES.
Attach the dummy air intakes using Pacer Dap-A-
Gap-A-Goo. The larger of the air intakes measures
approximately 2-1/2 x 4-7/8 in and is usually
mounted on the bottom of the fuselage just aft of
the cowl. The smaller of the air intakes measures
approximately 1 x 1-1/2 in. and is usually mounted
on the left side of the fuselage just aft of the cowl

STEP 9.4 – MOUNT PROP AND SPIN-
NER NUT
Depending on your engine, install a suitable propeller and
spinner nut. Given the large frontal area of this model and
the large size of the cowl, you will need a prop with a larger
diameter and smaller pitch than you might otherwise use.

STEP 10.1 MOUNT THE COCKPIT
LINERS.
Trial fit the cockpit liners. You can choose to have the
aluminum side visible or the colored side visible.
Use the supplied Velcro strip to mount the liners. Use a
touch of Pacer Dap-A-Gap-A-Goo to further secure the
liners where necessary.
Straighten up the pilots and their shoulder harnesses. A
touch of Pacer Dap-A-Gap-A-Goo may be used on the
underside of the shoulder harnesses to hold them in place
if loose.

STEP 10.2 - PREPARE THE PILOTS.
Position the pilots arms and legs. Pull the hands back
slightly and cut the wire protruding from the hands after the
arms have been positioned where you want them.
If you want to color the hands brown to simulate gloves or
the feet black to simulate boots, use latex paint or magic
marker. Test the fabric first in an area that is not noticeable

STEP 10.3 - MOUNT THE PILOTS.
Trial fit the pilots seat assembly on the rails in the forward
cabin. Insert the pilot seat assembly from the cargo bay
area… insert lengthwise and then rotate as you move the
seat assembly forward.
To allow for possible removal of the pilot seat assembly for
maintenance at a later date, use screws to mount the pilot
seat assembly or attach with a bit of Pacer Dap-A-Gap-A-
Goo.
