Cowling with Quick disconnect
You can use your own method of install-
ing the cowling for the glow version. The
rear pins are already installed at the
factory, with a front screw in place.
However, the front screw will interfere
with the glow engine, so it will have to be
removed and another hold down method
used.
In this example, I will show you how to
make a wood version of the Japanese
cowling quick disconnect. The front
screw is installed for the electric version
but, again, this will interfere with the
engine on a YS. So, it will have to be
removed and the flashing ground away.
Using the supplied instructional photo's,
build a couple of pin latches for the
disconnect system. Use a spring steel
wire and bend it to the necessary shape.
Relieve the fuse sides near the firewall
to allow the latches to be installed
square to the firewall, and then screw
the setup to the firewall. Using 5mm
aircraft ply, cut out some triangle stand
offs for the pins holders. Using 2.5mm or
6-32 screws, file the heads round so
they can move the spring wire as it is
