good evening fellow builders,
while fitting the top cowling to firewall/fwd top skin i was wondering if/how people seal this joint. thing is when airplane (7-taildragger) sits on the ground during rain, the water will probably enter the engine compartment and will flow down the firewall. i don't like that and since i use skybolt fasteners i got the idea to make a seal (rtv or whatever) at the mating area of the cowling and the mounting strips for the skybolts.
what did you guys here? or did you just not worry about it?
cheers
Kay
