- Drilled the 10 holes required for the hinge half on the right side of the fuselage. Per photo 1, 11 BITS BROKEN TONIGHT, TO GET 10 HOLES! That's about par for stainless steel!
- In photo 2, 2 hinges are in place. Note that my hinges are shorter than shown on the plans because there will be a cutout in the cowl for the exhaust pipes, so there is no sense adding hinges that will go to nothing.
- And the late big hurdle for the cowl is making the bottom cowl work (photo 3).
