glue to the joint for a strong joint. Set the Propeller with Hub Plates in place onto the Cam Cover
Shaft and tack the Propeller Nut in place to the Front Plate using the shaft to locate the Nut as seen
in the picture below. Then remove the Propeller from the shaft and glue the Nut in place permanently.
DO NOT GLUE the Propeller to the Cam Cover Shaft yet. Index the assembled Engine onto the
Crankshaft without the Propeller if not done already.
Cowl Framing:
Gather the following Cowl Framing parts: Front Cowl Frame (1); Left Side Frame (1); Right Side
Frame (1); Top Frame. See the picture above. Carefully and slowly bend and form the Cowl Frame
Parts; Top Cowl and two (2) Side Frames such that the Engine will rotate freely. This adjusting and
forming will require several trial attempts to finally get a correct fit.
Position the Front Frame in place indexed on the Cam Cover Shaft, and hold parallel to the Fuselage
Cowl Frame. Index the Top Frame into the three location sockets; two on the Fuselage Cowl Frame
and one in the Front Cowl Frame, now fit both Cowl Frame Sides (left and right) and hold in place
using two rubber bands linked together so as not to exert too much pressure on the Frames and allow
for removal to adjust. See the picture below.
Adjust the three Cowl Frames until the Engine can rotate freely then glue the Top Frame in place first
and allow the glue to set. Next, adjust the two lower Frame Members on the two Side Frames with
their ends in sockets and glue in place making sure the diagonal Frame Member is close to the joint of
