Brief Description:  Trim cowling / sand edges

Over this week I spent a few minutes each day on cowling and wheel pants items. On the cowling, I trimmed the openings at each gear leg slightly to make installation over the gear leg fairings easier. I also sanded the edges of all of the air inlets. Previously, these were in the as-cut state, but sanding them smooth only took a few minutes. Then I put some filler behind the upper edge of the right cowl inlet - where the air has to make a u-turn from the prop swiping it down to going up over the cylinders. I figure any added smoothness here might help the cooling air in a little.
