HI All,

Here is a quick update, my wife and I have had our moms visiting with us for the last 3 weeks. The little shop time that I've had been spent painting that other plane (the v2.2). Our mom's are leaving next week and I'll be back at it on the build thread.

I did manage to trim out the cowling. What I do is mark about a 3/8" lip around the bottom opening and about a 1/4" lip around the front opening. Use the Dremel Tile Cutting bit. It's a very course cutting teeth and really does the best job on the s-glass that Mike uses on these cowls. I finish off with the 1/2" drum sander.

On the bottom opening leave a band across the back of the bottom opening, that will help in fitting the cowl from distorting when fitting it to the front of the fuse.

I'll be doing the DEPS installation and buttoning up the fuse asap when I get some time, next week.

cheers!
