Number of Hours: 4.00
Manual Reference: SECTION 47-05
Brief Description: Cutt 1.75" Slot in to Cowl and Let/Right 10 Inlet

SECTION 47-05 SPINNER & COWLING Step 7 …. I cut a slot 1.75 inch wide for the landing gear on the bottom cowl of the scoop as shown in figure 2. Step 8 … I located and found in my supplies the 10 Inlet Left and Right that are to be placed in the Top Cowl to help ramp the airflow into the engine. I placed the Cowl 10 inserts into the top cowl and sanded and fit as necessary. Step 9 ,,, Drilled #40 size holes and clecoed as to temperately hold the insets in place. Step 10 .. Sanded the area that will make contact with 40 grit sand paper as necessary. Step 11 … I located some Aeropoxy and e-cloth to bond the two parts together and added some Feather Fill to the area that still has a space into to insure a smooth airflow into the engine cowl. Time about 4 hours because I was working slow.

First use of Super-Fill to smooth the airflow over the Cowl Inlets
