I'm doing what has to be the worst task on the whole airplane... you guessed it, the cowl. I have a couple questions regarding the exact fit.
#1 - Should the bottom corners come flush with the bottom of the fuselage
#2 - I have the 4-pipe exhaust, it definately touches. I want to trim so it's at least 1" off the pipes. This may cut a ways up the cowl.
#3 - I think I have the wrong cowl for my prop extension. I have the shorter extension (4"?). The cowl probably has 6" of overlap with the firewall. It seems I can press-on and make it work, but I may have other problems fitting the cheeks. Any ideas?
#4 - Ahhhh! I just want to go flying.
If somebody can post a shot of the bottom corner of their fitted cowl (sans intesection fairing) pointed up so I can see the bottom of the plane in the background, that would rock!
Thanks,
