| Started by trimming / shaping the VS tip for the VOR puck. This was needed after the AL stiffener plate 'oozed' during flox / riviting. | 
|
| Dad drilled, cut and terminated the mini-coax for the VOR puck. We used snap bushing top and bottom and will restrain the bottom to stop it bashing the inside of the VS. | 
|
| I went back to the main gear fairings and feathering of resin / glass. | 
|
| Put the cowl back on - the most 'complete' the project has looked for a while. | 
|
| One of the observations was the clearance between the vertical induction filtered airbox and the LHS of the cowl scoop is very tight (< 3/8" - the RHS is ~1") so we will need to relayout / remake the plate again. | 
|
| I decided my previous attempts for the cowl hing pin covers weren't going to work, so out with the sabre saw and removal of the problem! | 
|
| Ths part of the new plan - two metal disks, nutplates and covers. | 
|
| Along with a couple of spacers (washers), the backing plates can be held with the cowl halves mated. I plan to then glass the back in and then re-finish the outer surface with glass / micro balloons. |
