Moving forward with the cowling. I set the cowl to be 1/4" past the silver of the firewall. There is PLENTY of room for air to move through now. I tak glued the ring in place with medium CA in a few spots, then removed it to epoxy the ring in place. I ran a bead on the inside and out then used some 6oz fiberglass tape to back it up.
Since I had the epoxy out , I went ahead and beaded the aluminum cowl mounts. Should add a little more strength.
On the wing center section I decided to put my external wiring through two holes towards the middle on top.
Drilled two small holes for the elevator wires to be secured.
This is the tail retract doors. At first thought this is kind of a Hokey setup. A spring that goes trough the rear retract frames to each door.I have actuated it about ten times now and it works perfectly!
