Baffling
Hours: 2.9 | Posted in Cowling & BafflesDeburred the front lower baffle pieces and finished fitting them to the engine. Then, read the next page of instructions several times and studied all the diagrams until it made sense how this is supposed to fit together at the intakes. Wrestled the lower cowl into a place where I could mark some guide lines, and made some initial trims. After a couple cycles of fitting and trimming, I have the inlet ramps trimmed to a point where the lower cowl can be put on. The ramps are still longer than the end goal, to allow for progressive trimming to get the fit right. Need to do more reading & picture studying to understand the interface between cowl, airseal fabric, and baffles.
