and in the crankcase as shown. Glue the eighteen aluminum

the plywood wood frame. Align the dummy engine with the

embossed circle on the plywood frame.

11. Test  t the dummy engine assembly in the cowl. Use a

sanding bar with coarse sandpaper to bevel the edges of the

engine frame. The goal is to have the center of the dummy

engine centered in the cowl opening. The back of the engine

frame should be approximately 7-3/8" [187mm] below the

edge of the cowl. Mark the location of the engine frame on

the inside of the cowl. This will help in repositioning the engine

once epoxy has been applied to the engine assembly. Use

masking tape to hold the dummy engine in position and test

 t the cowl on the fuselage. Install the propeller and check

for clearance. Refer to Step 15.
