Brief Description:    More cowl work and Enigma power up
Today I installed the fiberglass tab that goes between the two halves of the cowl. I think I may have to sand it down to keep it from hitting the engine as it ended up about 1/4” thick.

Today was also an exciting day because I powered up my stratomaster Enigma for the first time. I really like how the display looks, very bright and crisp. With it connected to the RDAC, I made sure all the EGT and CHT probes were connected properly, but I also figured out that the other temp probes are set to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, but it should be an easy fix.

I thought about installing the tail tips today; I even polished one of the horizontal stabilizers, but I figured I’d end up scratching it up if I installed it now, so I’ll wait until just before I take it to the airport to do that. It turns out that the color I selected isn’t all that close to polished aluminum either.
