Brief Description:  Top cowling

Finished the top cowling. With the Skybolt flanges clecoed into place you can actually reach inside the cowling and mark the locations of the flange holes and mark them with a sharpie. After double checking, I drilled a #30 hole in the center of eash hole and they lined up perfectly. From there you can use the 10pcs cleco adapters to cleco the cowling into place. The cwling then needs 15/32" holes drilled at each location for the grommet. The 15/32 holes would not allow the grommets to be inserted so I upped the size to 1/2" which is allowed in the instructions. The flanges were powder coated red to match the color final paint color for the top to match and the Skybolt sockets were riveted into place. Everything fit great and the top cowl is complete except for the inlet ramps that get epoxied into place later.
