Hello,
I'm in the process of installing my pink engine cowl. Already worked on the front ring and nesting issues. Still have some slight interference on the outboard curves, just aft of the intakes. Cut some of that off already. I've noticed once I set the spacing and height behind the aft spinner plate, I see what appears to be a difference in height between the right and left intakes in relation to the plane and ground. I can still "twist" the front of the cowl and affect change.
My question: Would it be good to get plumb bobs, attach them to the upper horizontal flanges of each intake, then move things to make them the same? The bottom of the flanges are not trimmed all the way yet, so there is a difference from that point. I'm thinking I need to do something to "level" the intakes relative to the plane, or it will turn into bigger issues later.
Hope this makes sense.....thanks!!!
