I have just finished fitting the top cowling to the firewall. It is perfect! I started thinking about the bottom and wondered if I need to make sure the joint line between the bottom and top needs to be absoultly level.
In the pictures you can see where the level line - the thrust line, is. There is no way I can make the hinge line between the top and bottom level with that line. I can't make it level at all without adding fiberglass to the top cowl piece.
Is this normal or is the nose of the cowl dropping to low? I looked at about 100 paint job photos and I still can't tell if it is the same or level.
Any thoughts?
