Trim the clear canopy to the scribe line
and trial fit.This should be done with the
wing bolted in place and the wing cover
bolted in place.
If you are using a pilot or cockpit detail,
now is the time to install it. When satisfied
with the fit, glue in place with a bead of
Zap Formula 560 canopy glue. This glue is
white going on but will dry clear. Put about
a 1/4” wide bead around the base on the
inside and hold in place with masking tape
until dry. Depending on heat and humidity
it make a couple of days to get completely
clear, but will be dry enough to use in
about 8 hours. Any smudges can be
cleaned with water while the glue is still
wet.
Engine Mounting
Thrust line
Offset for
right thrust
Draw a center line on the firewall from
top to bottom. Draw a line across the fire-
wall through the center of the hole, this is
the trust line. You can mount your engine
centered on these marks. Depending on
the engine you use, you may want to use
2 degrees right thrust. This will offset the
engine 3/16” to the left side of the firewall.
The length of the cowl from the firewall to
the nose ring is 6-3/4”. This can be
adjusted about 1/4” either way but your
engine should be spaced to fit at this
length. Our Fox 4.2 required a 1-3/8”
spacer to achieve this.
Bolt the engine in place using bolts with
aircraft lock nuts on the back side (not
included in kit). It is a good idea to go over
the glue joints between the fuse and fire-
wall on the inside with epoxy to make sure
the joint is glued securely.
