COWLING.
Please see these below pictures.
Because of the size of the cowl, it may be nec-
essary to use a needle valve extension for the
high speed needle valve. Make this out of suf-
cient length 1.5mm wire and install it into
the end of the needle valve. Secure the wire in
place by tightening the set screw in the side of
the needle valve.
1) Carefully align the cowling on the air-
plane. e front of the cowl should be posi-
tioned so the cranksha is in the middle of
the cowl opening. Hold the cowl rmly in
place using pieces of masking tape.
Needle valve.
2) Slide the cowl in position on the fuselage.
Use M3x10mm screws to secure the cowling
to the fuselage.
