It's been quite awhile since I last produced a Cowling Chronicle, detailing the very long process of the fiberglass portion of firewall forward. In this latest episode, I tackle the final part of installing the filtered air box, the "tunnel" to create a smooth flow of air from the "snout" in the chronicle to the air box which filters the air into the fuel servo.
Once this process is done, and with a little wiring to be completed, I'm pretty close to firing up the engine for the first time.
In the meantime, I'm working on the cosmetic part of the top cowling, which is filling pinholes and sanding primer.
Many thanks to the people on Van's Air Force for helping getting me started on this particular aspect of the project. The directions are such that they make perfect sense once you do the project and go back and look them, but they're pretty to visualize when you're trying to get started. So I hope this helps builders who find themselves in this position.
I know you made this several years ago, but thank you for it! It will help me in the next few weeks whenever I get around to my FAB on the -10
