Safe Secure and Crack-Free
| Here’s a slick and simple way to secure your cowl to the fuselage and to help prevent the cowl from cracking. First, drill holes in the cowl that are just large enough to accept a rubber servo grommet. Insert a grommet into each hole, and insert the servo’s brass eyelets into the servo grommets from the inside. Attach the cowl to the fuselage with servo screws. The cowl now rides on the rubber grommets and is less likely to crack around the attachment holes. If you use JR’s brass eyelets, you’ll be able to attach your cowl with 4-40 bolts.
