Completed section 38 today. Started by riveting all the hinges to the cowlings. The cowling were then put in place and edges sanded to fit. Plans call for 1/32 inch gap.The 6 holes in front of the cowling were enlarged and nutplates riveted to the lower cowl. The oil door opening was cut in the upper cowling and the oil door fabricated and riveted into place.There was a slight interference with the door opening so it required a little removal of the upper edge of the door. The lower close out was then made per plans and nutplates attached. It is nice to have this section done. Now I can get back to doing engine work.
Time: 4.5 hrs
