modifications to the lower cowl suggested would seem to make things that much
easier.

gear leg(cowl bottom) and the prop blades(cowl top), and it still is a PITA.

have to address when fitting the cowling to allow the cowling to go forward just
enough to clear the baffle seals from the front baffling.
