Section 16: Final Assembly - Model Tech SE5a SCOUT Instructions For Final Assembly

STEP 2: MOUNTING THE COWLING
Remove the cowling and enlarge only the holes in the cowling, using a 5/64" diameter drill bit.
IMPORTANT Enlarging the holes will prevent the fiberglass from being cracked when you install the wood screws.
To strengthen the holes in the fuselage that the wood screws will thread into, carefully apply a couple of drops of thin
C/A into the holes and let it dry completely before installing the cowling. Do not screw the cowling into place yet, though.
After you've made all the necessary cutouts in the cowling, install your in-cowl fueling valve. Slide the cowling partially
into place and connect the fuel lines from the fuel tank to the fueling valve, carburetor and muffler pressure tap.
Slide the cowling into position and realign it. Install and tighten the four M3 x 6mm wood screws and M3 flat washers to
hold the cowling firmly in place. Install your high speed needle valve, muffler and propeller assembly to finish off the assembly.

With the cowling held firmly in alignment, drill 1/16" diameter
pilot holes into the cowling and through the sides of the
fuselage for the four wood screws. Locate two holes on each
side of the cowling, 3/16" in front of the back edge of the
cowling. Position the holes approximately 1/2" and 3-3/4" above
the bottom of the cowling.
At this time you should make the rest of the cutouts in the
cowling for your engine. These include cutouts for the high
and low speed needle valves, glow plug access, in-cowl
fueling valve and muffler assembly. You must also cut out the
bottom of the cowling so that hot air can exit. This will ensure
that your engine cools properly and doesn't overheat.
