Brief Description:  Cowl flap metal fabrication

Finished up the fabrication of all the parts attaching to each cowl flap. Used an adhesive epoxy (West Systems 105/205 with 404 mixed to mayonaise consistency) sandwiched between the clips and the fiberglass, then riveted things together. Mike S. stopped by again today (wow - two days this week!) to help with the riveting. We went into the evening a bit to fabricate one of the linkage rods to test the movement of the cowl flaps on the cowling. Worked great, and was a lot of fun too! (more pictures tomorrow)
