Step 1
Mount the engine into the fuselage with the supplied header pipe installed on the engine making
sure that the engine prop thrust drive plate is extended beyond the front end of the fuselage by
1/8-inch. Now measure from the front of the fuse to the header pipe on both sides, retain the
measurements and be sure to use them later on their prospective sides. Now take a shroud and
position it on the fuselage ¼-inch up from the opening of the cowl and 2 3/8-inches from the front of the
fuselage. Trace around the shroud as shown in the picture. Now take the shroud and install it back
onto the stacks and measure from the front of shroud to the stack inlet, this measurement plus the
2 3/8 should equal the number you previously got from measurement taken earlier above. If these
numbers are not equal then you need to make adjustments to the tracing on the fuselage so that the
numbers are equal. This step is important to get correct as it positions the stacks so that the header
pipe and the stack inlet line-up to each other.

You will need to follow this step carefully and
make sure everything is absolutely correct
before cutting the fuselage. Think this through
and understand what you are doing before you
cut! As they say measure twice and cut once.
If you use the supplied spinner you will notice
that it has a deep dish on its backside, in order
for you to make this work on this install you
will need to make a spacer that will make-up
the difference you need to get the correct
spacing for it.
