No time today, terrible thing having to earn a living, roll on retirement!

Just a photo of the exhaust side of the cowl.



Reading through my last post I realise that I didn’t explain how to ensure a well fitting cowl, wonderful thing hindsight.

First of all make the templates for the formers using the model not the plans, remember to remove 1/16th for the covering, mark the hinge line and partly cut. Then fit the balsa longerons with the assembly in situ using cling film to stop unwanted adhesions, only then fully cut the sections free.
