Closing the gap between the Cowl and Fuselage
      
      --> RV8-List message posted by: "Vincent Himsl" <vhimsl@turbonet.com>
      
      Hello,
      
      I am mounting the cowl and have successfully repaired the sides which I cut
      incorrectly. Now I need to deal with the gap between the cowl and the
      fuselage which I also cut incorrectly. 
      
      I have filled the gap between the fuselage (firewall) and the cowl halves
      with putty. Next I plan to lay up fiber glass so the finished cowl overlaps
      the fuselage approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I then plan to lay up fiberglass
      so the top half of the cowl overlaps the bottom by the same distance.
      
      Questions:
      Have any of you seen or done this?
      
      Any perceived aerodynamic problems? Aesthetics?
      
      Thanks,
      Vince

      Gentlemen,
      
      mounted the left flap today...it is very tight with the top skin.   The 
      alignment with the aileron is very good.   The spar is correctly installed 
      in the flap  Searched the archives, but every hit was "pre-prepunch" 
      construction related.  Any advice is appreciated.
