Engine Installed - Cowl Progress - build time 1440 hrs



I'm writing this update a bit behind schedule. Seems there's just not enough time for building a kit writing about it and keeping up with life. In any case the engine is on and now that it's nose heavy it's much more difficult to move around. I had to finally get out the tow bar to steer around the garage.
I'm about halfway through the cowl now and stopped to install the engine partly because the engine is in the way sitting in it's crate and because I want to have the aft spinner bulkhead installed so that I can use it to make sure the cowl is properly trimmed. I'm glad I did it this way although just trimming to the factory trim line would have worked.
