13. Cowl and canopy
Slide the canopy locating lugs into the corre-
sponding slot in the motor bulkhead. The canopy
is locked in place using the canopy latch instal-
led in the fuselage turtle deck.
Check that the cowl is a snug fit on the fuse-
lage; it should not be distorted or under strain.
Temporarily tape the cowl in place in the correct
position. Drill 1.5 mm ∅ holes through cowl and
fuselage for the four retaining screws, then fix
the cowl in place using the four PWA 2.3 x 8 mm
screws supplied. Take care not to over-tighten
the screws!
14. Centre of Gravity
The ideal Centre of Gravity is located 118 mm
aft of the wing leading edge, measured at the
fuselage. It is essential to check the C.G. before
flying the model for the first time; it can be cor-
rected by re-positioning the flight battery.
15. Control surface travels
If you need to adjust the control surface tra-
vels, re-connect the pushrod further in or out
in the servo output arm. You can also use your
transmitter's servo travel adjustment facility.
