Brief Description: Drill Sides of Lower Cowl to Hinges
Prior to installing the lower cowl on this most recent iteration I duct taped the side hinges to prevent them from rotating while drilling the cowl to the sides. This worked out very well. Once again I used the corresponding rivet pattern on the fuselage side of the hinges to drill the cowl hinges. I started at the bottom and worked up. The lower cowl is now fully drilled and clecoed to the firewall hinges!
