Finish Kit

Trimming Cowling ( 5 hrs )

Trimmed top and bottom Cowls per Sect 45-05, Steps 1-9.   A friend building a RV-4, Rick Olson and his dad, Dean gave me a great tip to use diamond coated cutting wheels to cut fiberglass using my dremel.   Wow ! they're terrific - fast & easy with a thin kerf - yet very tough.   Less than $10 for a set on Amazon Prime.  Lots of sanding with w/ 100 grit and files to finish edges.   Next up is cutting aft edges - then begin placement on Fuse.
diamond coated cutoff wheels work great!
