Brief Description:  Begin fitting right cowl

Aero Injector:
- Kerry at Sonex said to reverse the screw (come in from the other side) so the cable would be pushed AWAY from the mixture arm. I had to tap the end of the swivel nut, since it the screw would not go in from that side; the hole was slightly too small. After tapping, the solution worked fine.

Cowl:
- Feeling under the weather, so just cut the hole in the bottom corner for the gear leg. Made it bigger than it needed to be. I can always throw in a fiberglass patch later if I think it's needed.

- Cowl does not fit flush vertically to the back of the prop hub spacer. The bottom of the spacer is a good 1/2" beyond the cowl. Even if I shimmed the top two engine mount bolts (to tip the engine downward), it would never make up that much distance. I'll do some more fitting before I decide what to do, but I may have to cut the bottom of the cowl so I can pull the front flange to the hub, and then patch the resulting gap with fiberglass.
