Bottom Cowl, Nosegear Assembly Back from Van's

Spent Thursday and Friday working on the bottom cowl section. Found some REINFORCED cut off disks for the Dremel and they worked so much better. A lot of sanding with some 60-80 grit sandpaper to sand to the line. Found out that I had 2 scribe lines on the right half of the lower cowl. Sanded to the upper mark. Fitted the upper and lower cowl sections together and found that I have to do a bit of match sanding to do to get a tight fit. The Quad Cities airshow is on Saturday and Sunday. Will take Adam to see the Blue Angels.

Received the replacement nosegear assembly from Van's. Will install it.

Time Thursday and Friday - 6 hours
