Today I installed the intake plenums. This required trimming of a SCAT tube that was interfering. Stainless Torx screws were used on the intake ramps and plenums.
Next, I decided to split the cowl down the middle to create a three piec cowl. This will facilitate ease of removal and installation. A centerline was located on the cowl. I then finalized the layout of the Skybolt fasteners. I decided to keep the split line in the middle of the cowl which will offset the fastener studs by about an inch.
The next task was to determine how to grind down the honeycomb so a reinforcing layer of fiberglass can be applied. It will take some time but I think it can be accomplished.
Aerosport called today and the seats should be ready by the end of the week!
