Brief Description: Worked on Side Supports because of Misfit of Top
With both cowlings in place, I clecoed the side supports to the bottom cowling again to check the fit. With the side supports in place, I found that they push the top cowl out of position because of the curvature of the cowling going forward toward the inlets. I took the side supports out a few times pondering different options, such as cutting the forward 6-8" off and rounding the top portion.
