Still sanding…getting closer
Posted in Cowling & BafflesScraped, filed, sanded the remainder of the top cowl. Cleaned up the hinges and joined the cowl halves together, then sanded the hinge lines so they’d match up. Still need to do some work to obtain an even 1/16″ gap along the sides, it’s narrow right now.
Put the cowls on the plane to check the fit of the front baffle airseal — turns out I cut it too short, and I’m not happy with the way the corners are, so I’ll order another piece of seal fabric and re-do that part.
Mixed up a small batch of micro and applied to the LH nose where I sanded a flat spot (oops).
Sanded the spinner. Swept the shop.
