had a couple of errands today so I ended up in the shop for about 6 hours chopped up in chunks. worked on the engine dehydrator a bit since I now have a humidity sensor to plumb in. More on that tomorrow.

Other than that, I installed the cowl, measured, took it back off, rinse, repeat. the inlet openings don't fit to the baffle ramps well at all, and I'm also going to have to narrow the inbd ramp sidewalls, as they are both about 3/8" too far outboard.

There is a process in the rv14 plans for building up a flox dam where things are lining up and then sanding a new inlet profile. Even though these look really bad to me, once I rolled the conical radius corner pieces, they are pretty much within the dimensions taht are in the example photo in the plans, so I guess thats not awful.
