Brief Description:  Cowling

More trimming and fitting of Carbinge attaching cowling halves.
Beveled each tooth on all hinges to better absorb the bending and twisting required to follow cowling curves.
Cut down height of forward 8 inches of upper hinge halves to reduce the twist as cowling joint approaches air inlets.
Removed all engine baffling.
Prepped hinge halves and upper cowling for hysol bond.
Put hinge halves in place and inserted hinge pins.
Applied plastic tape covering lower joggle and lower half of hinges on outboard side.
Applied masking tape on upper hinge halves to prevent hysol running into hinge joint.
Wet out hinge and cowling with thin layer of hysol.
Applied hysol/flox mound along upper hinge outboard side.
Installed upper cowling and all attach screws.
Installed clecos to pull hinge against upper cowling.
Taped cowling halves together with duct tape to hold shape.
Tested hinge pins. They can be moved with not unreasonable force.

We'll see tomorrow if we bonded the cowling halves together. I hope not.
