Hi Allen
Short report: I have almost completed the installation of the huge E-cowl cowl flap and it is turning out pretty well if I do say so. Had to beef up the trailing edge of the cowl flap so the center mounted actuater can move the huge area without distortion and it is setting up tonight as I type. Tomorrow I start the last cowl project. The NACA duct to the air filter to turbo inlet. Will do something similar to your installation. Trying to figure out how to tie the duct to the filter box and get it set up so the cowl can be put on while alowing for the connection of the turbo inlet fixed to the engine and the cowl mounted duct and filter box fixed to the removable cowl. Tricky...but, I think I have figured out a way to do it. will take a lot of trial and error but I am still actually kind of enjoying the fiber glass work. Will try to send you some pics. I'm having a hard time finding a new memory stick for my ancient sony sure shot digital camera and the current ones are full up. need to get busy and transfer them all to my computer then figure out how to delete all the shots on the little memory card to make room for more shots.
The cowl flap looks pretty neat and will give me a huge exit area when needed and a pretty streamlined low drag exit when cooling is not needed.
It rained and hailed today. We needed the rain and we got lots of it. Turned really chilly this afternoon. About 48.... after what must have been cold front passage. Look forward to each days accomplishments as I can see the progress each day. It is getting to be fun again working on the RV-7. No real work on the horizon so don't know how I will pay for the Aero classic upholstery set-up yet which is about the only un-funded project on the horizon.
Attended a really good men's prayer breakfast early this morning, then was at the hangar by 8:30 am.
Chao for now.

I've got the Terminal Tool and it does a great job if you can put it in a
vice. Used as a portable tool it is pretty awkward. I made it work and the
results were fine but, as I say, it was a little awkward. Maybe if you had
a vice on a roll around bench that you could set beside the plane . . .
