| Dad re-welded the throttle bracket with the modified angle - now 111 degrees. The 4130 steel does weld and work very well - it is sorta 'soft/maluable' but steel tough and hard. (Materials are one of the biggest learning parts of the project todate - very rewarding). |

| I spent some time looking at clearances and layout of the plenum and cowl. This is the first time the full setup has been installed for quite a while. The forward edges look tight, but hopefully the engine will drop a little and everything well be fine. The RV's in general are tightly cowled and I'll have to wait and see if it rubs / needs other solutions. | 
|
| Also fixed / finished some of the hinge pin retention for the plenum. On this occasion I'm going with a simple safety wire solution. |
