 Step 1

Cut pieces of card stock to indicate the location of

engine items such as the needle valve, carburetor and

throttle arm of the engine. Tape the card stock to the

fuselage as shown.

 Step 2

Slide the cowling onto the fuselage so the front of the

cowling is roughly 4

" (110mm) from the firewall. Use

a felt-tipped pen to transfer the locations from the card

stock onto the cowling.

Note: It will be necessary to remove the

engine from the fuselage for this step.

 Step 3

Place the engine back onto the fuselage. Remove a small

portion of the areas transferred onto the cowl from the

previous step. Slowly test fit the cowl onto the fuselage

and remove material as necessary to get the cowling to fit

over the engine.

Note: If your cuts are a little jagged, use a

rotary tool with a sanding drum to smooth up

your cuts and give the cowling a nice finished

look.
