After some filling on the big holes in the cowl, I noticed that the oil door was cracked. It seems that the tension around the latches cracked the fiberglass (the light colored patch on the right).



So I decided to make an aluminium door and use some oher latches. the picture shows the two doors side-by-side, but I will have to make a third door as the lacthes don't have enough grip and the door might open in flight.

Another sanding and filling session, and still some pinholes.

Some sanding and filling to get a proper shape, mainly around the inlets.

Due to the loss of an airplane I'm flying by my airline (Air France 447), I was not in the mood to go to the workshop.
Today I somehow managed to sand and fill for the second time the cowls.

Work goes on with the sanding of the filling done the day before yesterday. Then I lay one layer of fiberglass on the upper inlet ramps.



And a little more filling on the inlet sides and the oil filler door.



In the next weeks, sanding and filling will be the main tasks as I have the cowls, the fairings and the canopy to finish.
