Brief Description: lower cowling

Side cowling is about an inch short. Adding the lower panel, means adding a break to it. I don't like the sharp line in that location. To get a smoother radius at the bottom requirs the lower panel mount up much higher. Blue tapes shows a couple of options. Upper tape would line up with engine cowling (I hope!). Lower tab would give good access to fuel and brakes. Need to think about a paint job that would help hide that line (i.e blue stripe on white per Robbie's Bearhawk would do it)
