Dynam Waco - Cowl removal

[Tabdy]

How do I remove the Cowl on my Dynam Waco. I want to change the ESC.

I don't have this plane but I have had several Dynam planes. Cowls are generally spot glued, held on by screws or magnets. Sometime in order to tell how a part is held on, it's useful to find the part and look at the picture. Here is a picture of the part from AliExress:

I can see what looks like a magnet and there's likely a couple others on the opposing wall. Give it a gentle and methodical yank.

Thanks for that. I will try easing it off again with a little more determination!

You will find that the paint and maybe a few spots of glue are keeping it from coming loose. On the one I have and one my brother and one other guy. have we had to take a razer blade and gently work it between the cowl and the front of the fuse to get the cowl off to change the esc wiring. all three motors were rotating in the wrong direction. You would think they would have hooked the wiring up correctly. We found that all three had the wiring hooked up incorrectly, on all three we matched the esc wires colors with the motor wiring to correct proper rotation of the motors good luck
