Brief Description: Completing the removable air scoop

Built flange and added nut plate for finalizing the removable air scoop. It sound easy based on that one sentence buy there is more to it. I final routed the cable for the door trap under the air bowl. attached the rubber piece to the nose of the air bowl test fit, adjust and sealed it. The only thing left to do is to add fillet material where the cut was made on the air scoop to reduce the visual of it but this is mostly esthetic. I think I am at the point of gluing (fiberglassing) the air scoop to the bottom cowl. Note also the round hole above the scoop ; that is where the camera will be inserted to see forward and below the nose when on the ground !
