just)

|
| 16-1-06 Cowling nearly finnished, I have
some small parts to make to connect the two parts together on the back and
make the hole for the exhaust and air inlet. There was still an other
problem, I have to cut up the intake manifold again because it is still to
big. |
Lots of brackets to hold the cowling. 8 on top and 8
below. Each bracket had to be adjusted. separatly to have the good fit and
angle.
|
 |
|
| More disaster!! I made a mistake
with the dimensions of the starter. I have to make more room for it. I
won't go over the whole moldmaking again, so I dicided to change the
cowling. |
2-1-06 Upper cowling has new bigger "starter buble"
and started with trimming the edges.
|
 |
|
| 23-12-05 mold of upper cowling came
of the plug. and already get first layer of gellcoat |
29-12-05 upper cowling came out of the plug.
Testfit on the fuselage. There had to be a lot of trimming and cutting to
do. There is a small problem with the intake manifold of the engine. I have
to change it a litle to let it fit underneath (see engine)

Some pieces of the plug
where bonded to the mold. Maybe I have to use more wax next time. It came

| Bottom view of the cowling plug. Lots of
glueing, filling and sanding to do. |
22-10-05. Bottom side is
ready! Now I have to buy the materials to make the mold of the lower
cowling. My whole workshop is covered with sanding dust!!!!. I am happy
not to built a plastic plane. I hate the sanding and filling. |
