Cowl install.
Since I have the cowl out farther than suggested, I installed two pieces of T shaped ply along the sides of the fire wall so the front of the cowl can be secured and reduced vibration.





Inside view of front cowl mounts.
Along with epoxy, these were also mechanically secured.



Also, epoxied some 1/8" thick aircraft ply along the top inside of the fuse to secure the cowl.



Fuse upside down to let gravity hold the four pieces of ply while the epoxy cures.




Finished product.



Used large button head screws.
Total of 10 screws holding the cowl to the fuse should 'do it'.



Presently, some hex head servo screws holding front of cowl to fuse.
