Step 1: Aligning the Cowling
Set the fuel tank hatch cover onto the fuselage, then remove the needle valve and muffler assembly from your engine.
Temporarily slide the cowling over the engine and onto the fuselage. So that the cowling will slide into place, you will
need to cut away a portion of the cowling to clear the engine's cylinder head and carburetor. Use a rotary tool with a cutting
disc and a sanding drum to make the cutout. Work slowly, checking the fit often so you don't remove too much of the
cowling or damage it.
When satisfied with the alignment, use pieces of masking tape to hold the cowling securely in place and aligned.

With the cowling temporarily in place, secure the spinner
backplate to the engine's crankshaft.
Line up the front of the cowling using the backplate as
your guide. When aligned properly, the cowl ring should be
centered with the spinner backplate and there should be about
a 1/16" - 3/32" gap between the two. The stripes on the sides
of the cowling should also be lined up with the stripes on the
sides of the fuselage.
