Great Weather Day

A bit of rain, but the cool temps allowed a lot to get done today. Finishing up the bottom cowling installation. This isn’t the original cowling as that item was scraped up a bit after grandpa’s ‘walk down the grass strip’ at the farm back in the 60’s. Hence, no holes line up with the replacement cowling.

I am also getting set up to do a weight and balance.

Three holes on the bottom cowling near the rear.
Getting ready to drill the holes.
Holes are drilled, installing Clecoes to temporarily hold the cowling.
Preparing for doing the weight and balance.
Getting close.
This side is not fitting perfectly. Needs some adjustment. The left side fits perfectly.
