I learned recently the carb heat inlet to the airbox must be relocated to the rear of the box. Today I hacksaw the part off, welded onto the back and riveted on a cover of the old position

20231120_162115.jpg Lots of challenges with this cowl. Currently working on the lower portion. The lower side support angle is twisted an needs a curve in it for a nice transition to the nose. One piece at a time is how to eat an elephant. Lol

I've been working on wing fairings for what seems like a year, reality, couple weeks. Almost done tho, decided to make the front to windscreen out of s-glass. For a better fit.

I chose to use rivets for window trim and Plexiglass attachments. Trim is an assortment of ccc32 and and 426ad3 where possible. The plexi is sandwiched between aluminum trim and fastened with aacq44, an all aluminum pulled rivet. The interior is painted a smoke gray, exterior will be painted to match fuselage later
