RV12iS Cowling

sweet1

I'm New Here
I am having a hard time with understanding how to trim, shape, final install the cowling. After reading the instructions numerous times, I can't seem to visualize what I have to do. Is there a build video for the cowling and/or close up pics of the RV12iS cowling ?
 
I have some photos of my cowling construction, hope this helps. The only advice I could give that's not in the instructions is to watch the gap between the lower portion of the spinner and the lower cowl when fitting up the lower cowl.

…And take it really slow, taking off only a tiny bit at a time.
