Short Description:  Cowling #36 - Cooling air Inlet ducts

Back to the regularly scheduled programming - and now working on the cowling inlet ducts, which are on a new page in the instruction manual. I started with a research refresher on some of my favorite build sites to get a sense of what was involved, and then pulled the cowling off the fuse and gathered the pre-fabbed inlet ducts from storage. As directed, I fit the inlets to the cowl and drilled a cleco hole in the fore and aft attach points to test the fit. Then, I removed the inlet ducts and scuffed the forward contact points for good epoxy adhesion. The aft adhesion points on the inlet ducts are on the non-smooth side and are pre-rough formed.

The build log rolls over the 3,300 hour mark with this session. Not bad for almost 10 years worth of work - but not good either, just what it is.
