First Cowl Fitting

I finally got around to install the spinner back plate and the propeller hub so I would have a reference point for the upcoming cowl trimming.

I used cheap bolts and nuts just to hold the backplate in place. This will all have to get removed and reinstalled with the real hardware before going live.

Then I put the lower cowl on, just for a trial fitting. I knew I wouldn't have enough time to start working on the cowl but I just wanted to see how much work I had to face.

I don't know about you, but to me this looks pretty close to being done. The clearance to the backplate is certainly a bit too tight for now but the rest looks promising.
I guess, I know what I am going to do on the weekend ...
