DR-107 One Design RC plane build, Update #23 Part C, Cowl Construction
This is a series on building the DR-107 One Design (IMAC) r/c aircraft from the Matt Mrdeza plan. This plan was downloaded from outerzone.co.uk.
This is the third and final video of a multi-part series on construction of the cowl. In this video, the two halves of the cowl are joined. Then, the cowl is mounted to the fuselage. Mounting the cowl goes hand-in-hand with adding the electric motor mount (firewall) so it is a combined operation. The cowl is mounted with steel angle plates glued to the cowl and screws attaching it to the fuselage (former F1) from the inside of the cowl. Thus, hiding the attachment.
