Brief Description:  Fitting Top Cowling Piece

Worked on fitting the top cowling piece to the bottome cowling piece and the windscreen skirt.

Made multiple iterations of checking fit, then trimming a little more until the fit was the best I could achieve. Clecoed the top piece in place to the lower cowling and windscreen skirt. There seems to be a slight mis-match of the curvature of the aft cowling edge and the aluminum strip of the windscreen skirt. Upon tightening the bolt down to secure the cowling to the windscreen skirt, slight gaps form. I may have to do a little fiberglass material buildup in the areas of the gaps to fill them and smooth them to the cowling contour.
