More on the cowl

The cowl is now fit and close to complete.  We had to do more work than just fitting, for example, adding louvers to the bottom (for cooling).

Here I am working on the piano hinges on the bottom cowl.  The hinges attach the top to bottom.

Here’s Kelly standing next to the plane with both the top and bottom cowl installed.  This also gives a good perspective on how large the RV-10 really is.

A closer-up shot.  The towel on the propeller is so we don’t hit our heads on it when standing up near it–that garage really is small.
