Been working mainly on the cowling fit. It's been slow going due to having to remove it so often. Had to flute the firewall flange in several places to make the flange parallel the skin instead of pushing out on the cowling. Continued running hoses and wires under the cowl. Was able to make the 12mm hose work with the 1/2" fittings after using liberal amounts of grease and heat. This is how TAF does it and they use the same hose and fittings. Assembled the tail and began test fitting the tail fuselage fairing. Will begin drilling and mounting both the cowl and tail fairings tomorrow.
