Dummy radial engine cylinders
Hi guys! I need help trying to mount dummy radial cylinders inside a fiberglass cowling. The plane is a quarter scale Waco tapperwing . I need to figure out how to attach them to the inside of the cowl. The cylinders are from Williams. Thanks!

Cut a plywood disc that will fit into the cowl deep enough to allow the dummy cylinders to fit in the proper position. Cut the plywood that is directly in front of the real engine cylinder for cooling. Where the plywood disc comes into contact with the fiberglass cowl use silicone RTV to secure it in place. Of course you should do all the detailing and painting before mounting in the cowl.
