Brief Description:  Lower cowling additions

The new oil cooler is awesome. It makes for a much better contour on the lower cowling, however the position means more glass work on the cowling to enclose the cooler.
Today I used foil tape, X-30 foam and green foam blocks to build up the basic shape that the new additions will have. Pretty easy job, but the cold temps didn't allow the foam to cure very fast so I have to wait till tomorrow to carve it up. I also cut out both aft corners of the cowling to change the shape into something more asthetic. The aft opening will be closer to the prop and smaller allowing better "pull" on the cooler air. Very excited to fly again!
