| The Will James Cowl arrived Thurs, looks like a good quality piece of workmanship. Unfortunately there is no mount to mount |
|
| the engine on yet. the mount arrived @ Van's late Thurs. Got a call from Scott Risan, who said that my mount already had the |
|
| modification, so the BPE CAS system oil sump is much larger than the stock Lycoming. they are making the modification today, |
|
| and it will be returned next week. So i've got to figure uot how to stay busy. Today I removed the main gear fairings, and taped |
|
| the fron halves w/ Saran Wrap as a release agent, then screwed both halves together and squeegeed in some Superfil to make |
|
| a glose fit between the halves. Set them inside to cure overnight as it cool today (50). then worked on the main gear leg fairings, |
|
| I recived some REALLY thin fiberglass tape from CST, I tried using John's rivet shaver in the countersink cage, but it didn't do |
|
| much. I used some sandpaper on a block and sanded the rivets which hold the hinge in place flush, then put a single lay-up of |
|
| this thin fiberglass tape over it. i'll let it cure overnight and doo the other side hinge rivets tomorrow. |
