The epoxy layer is not completely cured, so it's not possible to work on the whole surface of the cowl.
But the inlet area needs to be built up on one or the other cowl to get a good fit. I'm using some thickened epoxy. The initial pass is quite rough to get the correct height, some more work will be needed to get a nice finish.
This is the outside of the inlet.



And that's the inside.

I begin by filling the voids between the upper inlet ramps and the cowl. Once cured, I will be able to lay some fiberglass.



Surface finishing is then on the agenda. First some sanding then painting with amix of epoxy and acetone.
The picture show how the cowls are glossy after the mixture has been applied.

Still doing the finishing on the wheel fairings. First some filling on the parts bonded yesterday, this will allow to apply some fiberglass plies without leaving any void between the parts.



Then I apply a few layers of fiberglass where the brackets will be in contact with the fairing. The picture shows the filling done yesterday in white, with some fiberglass layers on top.

As the lower cowl is in position, I took the opportunity to install the upper nower gear fairing. There were afew cuts to makes, and some fiberglass work is needed to get a better fit.



I also epoxied the lower main gear intersection fairings on the wheel fairings.
I the fairing, one of the support brackets is visible as some thickness haas to be built up due to the camber in the fairing where the bracket is supposed to be riveted.
The fairing will later be strengthened by a few plies of fiberglass.

The long task of filling the cowl goes on. After a thorough sanding, I applied some epoxy putty to all the big holes that have to be filled. Netx operation will be to use the Van's method for all the pin holes.
