Default AD Scorpion tailpipe installation??

Okay, guys. I'm stumped. I'm ready to install the tailpipe in my Scorpion, There cut outs in the turbine mounting rails for the bell. If I push the bell into the cut outs and then try to attach the tailpipe, I can't reach the bolts. If I bolt the tailpipe to the bell first, I can't get the pipe/bell back into place.

Question is ... Just how big of a sledgehammer do I need to get this in?

Insert the pipe from the back of the fuselage. Put the bellmouth in position. Bolt the bellmouth to the pipe by putting the nut on the outside and screw head on the inside. You can add two metal sheet screws placed at 120 degrees if you wish to increase the fastening effect on the bellmouth.
Have a look here on page 25.

I love the looks of the scorpion. I'm very close on pulling the trigger on one.

We have a special scheme coming to the shop soon. Custom painted by one of the Canadian jet graphics specialists in Demo West 2003. It is going to be amazing...
