installing the cowling screws for the final time
will allow easier removal of the screws.

button head screws and M3 washers. Place a drop of canopy
glue on each screw before they are installed.
169. The lower section of the cowling will need to be opened to
allow air to pass over the engine. Use hobby scissors and a

the bottom cowl half to keep them from coming loose when

 Use care not to get epoxy in the threads of the blind nuts.
Either secure the left set, then right set, of blind nuts,
allowing the epoxy to cure between each half. The threads of
the blind nuts can also be filled with wax or petroleum jelly.
