FINISH THE MODEL

Attach the Cowl & Canopy
❏
1. A template is provided on the back cover page of this
manual for a convenient way to trim a hole in the cowl when
using an O.S. ® .91 four-stroke engine. Cut out the template
and align the circular end over the spinner base on the cowl,
taping it in place. Pull the other end tight around the cowl
with the middle of the template centered over the right
cooling hole. While holding the template tight, secure the
other end in place with a small piece of tape.
❏
2. Using a felt-tip pen, trace around the engine head-
shaped portion of the template onto the cowl. Remove the
template and finish up the lines with a straightedge.
❏
3. Use a rotary tool to cut out the shape. Slide the cowl
onto the fuselage. Install the backplate from the 2-1/2" [64 mm]
spinner onto the crankshaft. Align the cowl with the spinner
backplate, allowing 1/8" [3 mm] space between them. Use
tape to hold the cowl in place. Drill four evenly spaced 1/16"
