Hi everyone,
What have you all done for the upper inboard corners of the cowl inlets? I am having trouble getting a reasonable-looking seal in this spot, upper left in this photo:
You can see the inside of a gap there. I can add another flap lower down on the baffle, but it seems that the incoming airstream would just push it away from the cowl.
I have also tried adding a little glass fairing and running a strip inside the cowl, which seemed to work better but still not perfect. It also makes putting the top cowl on rather tricky.
(undersized test strip shown here)
Is this worth trying to get perfect? What have others done?
Thanks,
Paul
