Finally getting some good progress. I have the cowl blocks in.




They are just tacked in with a screw so I can adjust there location and centering.




Once I have them where I want them I will glue them in with epoxy.
I am pleased with the system and will beef up the mounts, pin them with CF dowls and I left enoug so I can add some 1/8" ply for shimming as I will sand them to fit the cowls profile.


I need to deside witch cowl I will use. As with a lot of this kit the TF cowl is in my opinion a better detailed cowl. It also is a little bigger, that helps a lot. The FS cowl is much thicker, stronger and heavyer but smaller. So right now I will use the TF cowl and I will layin some CF when I do the meatal hard points for the cowl screws.




I need to mount the engine and add the spark plug cap and see how it all centers befor I finalize the mounts.
