 6. Remove the propeller and cowl from the fuselage.

Enlarge the holes in the cowl using a pin vise and

5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit.

 7. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a #0

Phillips head wood screw into each of the holes to

cut threads in the surrounding wood. Remove the

screw before moving to the next step. Prepare all four

mounting holes at this time.

 8. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes

to harden the surrounding wood. This will harden

the threads so the screws do not easily strip the

surrounding wood. Prepare all four mounting holes

at this time.

 9. Once the CA has cured, use four #0 Phillips head

wood screws and a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure

the cowl to the fuselage.

 10. Slide the propeller/spinner on the motor shaft.

Use a 10mm box wrench to tighten the nut securing

the assembly to the motor shaft.

 11. Place the spinner cone on the propeller. Use

the screw included with the spinner assembly and a

2.5mm hex wrench to secure the cone in position.
