For the past couple of days, we've been working on the cowling and cooler box assembly and the oil cooler. Yesterday, we did the fiberglassing for the cooler box and today we put on the VA213, 14, and 15. It involved routing the hoses in and around the engine mount.
We are beginning to "...see the light at the end of the tunnel." and tomorrow, we'll put the gas tank in, put the instrument panel cover back on (we finally received one of the 'clamshells' for one of the 26 pin connectors), and possibly put the canopy on. We checked on prices for getting the plane inspected and it looks like it'll be about $400.00. We may actually get to get the engine cranked next week, so we need to start bringing in the oil and coolant.
You'll see photos of the inside of the bottom cowling showing the fiberglassing of the cooler box and the plumbing on the engine.
