Panel and cowling work.

 This weekend I had a few minutes to play with the panel. I measured the holes for the glove boxes that I will eventually build. 

I also messed with the trim pieces for the windshield. This is part of dry fitting everything for the boot cowl and windshields. I need to ensure that everything is right before I drill the first hole, because once that hole is drilled, Im commiting to these boot cowlings that I have made. 

Panel work Feb

 I got some time at the hangar today, so I worked at adding the bottom and top pieces to the panel. I started with the piano hinge and attached the lower panel with #8 nut plates and then drilled the upper panel. 

This gave me the chance to then shape the panel with a sander to get the proper fit. I have a lot of nut plates to add but that will be the next visit, then I can start with cutting holes for instruments.
