Brief Description: Began measuring baffles for trimming.
I began the day by changing the dessicant in the plastic plugs on the top plug holes. We also put the top cowling on to determine where the baffles touched. The forward and aft baffles all touched with some of the side baffles almost touching. So we started measuring down 1/2" all the way around for the first cut. We will be fabricating a plenum instead of using the rubber for sealing the cowling for cooling air. We will use fiberglass molded against the top cowling as our mold. We will closely copy another person's plenum who has built three RVs, all with plenums.
Charlotte cut 8 strips of 8 oz fiberglass cloth that we will use on the empennage fairing as soon as it gets warm enough for the temp range of our West system resin and hardener (60-90 F degrees),
