Engine nacelle

- 4 harpoints need to be glued in on each corner for the covers. I use a #2 x 1/4" screw.

- I do not fit up the covers, i just roughly trim them to a line after demolding, so the edges will need to be trimmed up by sanding until they fit. There is a left and right on these, so make sure the right one is on the right side.

- Another thing you may want to do is put some glue in the 2 voids that are on each side where the formers are glued to the nacelle skin. You will see them, they are just the spots without glue. I do not put glue in these areas for demolding purposes. The other planes were fine without the glue but i had an old nacelle that was for practice that was broke in this area and made me think, what if? I will be putting glue in these areas after demolding from here out.
