Engine Update July 2009 Updates July 18, 2009 Baffles and Cowl.... - 5.0 hrs Today I mounted a door on some 2 x 4's and set it up as a table. Then to make a smooth surface I mounted a piece of quarter inch plywood on it. Should work out great. Next it was lunch time and the RV builders group was meeting at Carls BBQ. After everyone came down to check out my plane. Then it was time to get back to triming the baffles. Still trying to get the spacing correct for the rubber seal that mounts to the cowl top. Next I mounted the nut plates on the inside of the inlets. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
