Finish Kit

Top and Bottom Cowl mated to Fuselage ( 3 hrs )

Drilled aft holes on Top Cowl, then match drilled into hinges after re-installing onto Fuse.  42 holes filled with clecos per Steps 1-8 at Sect 45-10.  Started 45-1; mounting Bottom Cowl.   Marked aft edges for trimming (less than 1/8") using tool Carl & Rafael showed in their build log.  Stopped early to go flying prior planning meeting at airport for annual Father's Day breakfast/fly-in.

added Bottom Cowl.  Sawhorse good height to defy gravity.
