Robinhood, your baffling looks extremely close to mine, .. you must have used the ice bins I mentioned
. What did you use to glue them in? I was told by a local guy to use Goop ... and that was the worst advice I've had in a long while. After getting them just like I wanted them, I glued them in .. then next day I tapped on it as a strength test ... and they both just fell right out! Now I have to start all over and re-paint them again before using some other adhesive. What did you use? By the way I made a top half and a bottom half and trimmed them to fit around the fins as you did.
I made mine from 1/4 Balsa and fiberglassed it in the cowl.
I had a top baffle made and it had a removable middle so that I could clear the prop shafts for putting the cowl on, but there was no way to make it work.
I may make a top baffle like the bottom one, slip it through the opening after the cowl is on and have a few bolts going into blind nuts hold it on.
I would hate to see bolt heads on the face of the cowl, but we'll see what I can do.
Maybe i'll just leave the bottom baffle only.
I want to try to get in the air on Saturday.
