Week 221 - Cowling

Hours to date: 2078.5

The carbon brackets worked out good and are plenty strong enough.

I've put them in place and they will be good indicators for the foam carving to see where to stop.

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking here.

Carbon brackets that will hold the cowl out at the back.

Brackets in place.

Ditto

Cardboard lined with a bin bag so the foam doesn't stick to it.

Final - double layer of protection for the engine before pouring foam.

All ready to go.

Eek - what a mess.

Frankentwister - I've created a monster!

2 hours later - we are starting to see a shape we like here.
