ENGINE HATCH
NOTE: The installation of the rear pins should be accomplished one at a time and care should be taken
that the hatch-to-fuselage fit is maintained.
Use CA to tack glue each pin in place. After the hatch
is fitted to the fuselage, apply a fillet of AeroPoxy. The
large diameter portion of the pin should not protrude
past the fiberglass edge.
Optional balsa shim blocks can be used to keep the
hatch pushed forward leaving an equal panel line
around the perimeter.
NOTE: Early kits will need the front and rear former of the
engine hatch relieved to clear the engine by-pass as shown.
While holding the engine hatch in place use a fine point
marker to trace the location of the receptacle hole.
Drill these receptacle holes small, then use a Perma-Grit
round file to adjust the size and location necessary to
achieve a proper fit.
