Brief Description:  Cowl cutout for fuel filler

Worked on the cowl some more. 2 Kitlog entries tonight.

First: If anyone asks, I recommend against the horizontal cowl split. At least for me it has been a long struggle to make it work, and it's eaten up a lot of hours. It is going to be difficult to put the cowl on by myself when completed, withouth scratching the paint; it's too easy to drop the bottom half on the ground, and too difficult to put it back on with one person.

========

- I put the lower and upper cowls on the plane and marked for the fuel filler cutout.

- Cut out with the Dremel.

- Then used the cutout as the pattern for the fuel door. I made the door 5/8" wider than the cutout, on 3 sides.
