I've got the upper cowl mounted and in position (sitting a bit low to account for engine sag)...but the instructions are less than clear regarding the seam between the upper and lower cowl. Van's instructions don't say (at least I couldn't find it) whether the seam should be in-line with the fuselage, which I assume is correct. SJ instructions say to make it "level" and straight. But level according to what...the fuselage?
Sorry, this is probably a dumb question...maybe I'm over thinking it. My fear is that I won't have enough material on the bottom cowl if I trim the top. I think the overlap from front to back is less about an inch.
