Brief Description: begin work to modify cowl inlets

5.75" diameter at front...about 5.375" on inside. Orig. FG ES cowling was 5". Chuck Hess did 6". Super-glued to cowling, cut out hole, shaped. This will close in IV carbon cowl to be closer to original ES FG cowl. Chuck Hess did this and picked up 10 knots and CHT went up to 320 or so. Will add some thick micro, 3 BID, then bodywork and prime.
