Cowl Fitting

Yesterday, and again today we spent time adjusting the cowling. With the top cowl just about perfect, we marked out and drilled holes in the firewall-side top cowl hinges. Then we installed the bottom cowl and used a strap to hold it in place while drilling holes in the air inlets.

Alignment looking good. The outboard edges of the inlets will need work, but that is expected.
